Quizzes

A table of six, slightly apart,

With paper and pen, all ready to start;

Sat close together, so they can discuss

The answers to questions without any fuss.

The topics are varied, with seven in each,

So plenty to stretch all those aiming to reach

The best score among all the teams in the face,

To take home the prize that accrues to first place.

Many hushed tones of whispering filling the air,

As each question brings forth its presence to bear

On the minds of the players, who might well confess

Their answers are really no more than a guess.

The time comes to finish; the totals are checked,

The chances of all but just one team are wrecked,

For they get the prize, whether generous or small,

For in quizzes it's usual the winner takes all.
