Hush now and listen
Make sure your focus is on high
To win and become the Queen or the Master
Swift hands and sharp ears
Slap your hand down first
Be sure to cut the air swiftly
Slide the correct card aside
Careful now not to get a fault
and an extra card on your side
Quickly now quickly
Your opponent is no slouch
One Hundred Poems to be chosen from
Fifty on the tatami mat
Listen closely and listen well
Each poem with a different story and history to tell
Hundreds of years of history
Love, loss, and beauty
Focus focus focus
Stay calm and focus
Concentrate on the beautiful sounds of
poems being read
Memorize the playing field and attack
Will you lose
Or win to fight through the tournaments to be the best

In his embrace you found yourself. In his kiss you were born. In his words you learned. In his heart you loved. In his absense you hurt.
