Take a look, I'm sure you'll see
Just how difficult it can be
Wizards or Muggles, don't ask me.

Let's play hopscotch, grab some chalk
Or hide and seek, run, don't walk
You can watch us play, but please don't gawk.

Is your joust on horse or broom
Are your cards friendly or will they go boom
Please don't bet using that precious heirloom!

Things have changed since days gone by
We should be grateful, you and I
Take a seat and I'll tell you why.

Ever gone out and batted a pig's bladder over a hedgerow
Or lanced a dragon's bladder on a pole, no?
I'd have a think before giving it a go.

Quidditch or Quodpot, which will you choose
With those choices, there's nothing to lose
But no matter the option, remember your shoes!

Both cultures have tarot readings aplenty
And versions of chess, why there's more than twenty
Or so I've been told by some guy named Vincenti.

Are those marble or are they stone
Are they yours or are they on loan
You've been forewarned, please don't moan.

As you can see, there are lots of games out there
Tell us about them -the rules and equipment- do share
But most importantly, what should we wear?
