Unfair War

by
Liliana Kohann

I lost a war! But it was not fair.
See, my opponent didn’t even think.
It’s hard to believe it that I’ve been defeated
By such a tiny, little thing!

And I thought for hours, trying various tactics,
Struggling and sweating to win,
While this tiny cookie just sat on the counter,
Not even cracking a grin!
