Pawn to e4, knight to f3 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3

My bishop eyes his knight on c6
A calm road where the endings thrive

I take on d4, push e5 with glee 4...Nd4 5.Nxd4 exd4 6.e5
Take on f6, take back on c3 6...dxc3 7.exf6 Qxf6 8.dxc3
Queen to e2, I check his king 8...Bc5 9.Qe2+
Down the open e-file the bells ring
Verse 2

My doubled c-pawns hold the fort
The queens may leave, the endings glow
To c4 my bishop must not go

Queen to e2, I check his king 8...Bc5 9.Qe2+
Down the open e-file the bells ring
