The Perfect Game

Nestled into my comfy little chair,

Graphics loading on my computer –

Brother waits for me to join his team.

Our rivals don’t have a prayer.

 

Teams of two, here we are

Arrogant player asks if I’m a girl.

I reply, “Why, yes I am.”

“Lol” he says before we spar.

 

Sly little smirk creeps on my lips,

Brother gone quiet,

Knowing what happens next.

My ships from behind, they slip.

 

Victory appears across my screen,

Leaving us the standing team.

Underestimation was our advantage,

Watching my rival’s base crumble at the seams.
