Today’s word is “exclave” … a portion of a country geographically separated from the main part by surrounding foreign territory. (Dictionary.com)
Victory
The game was very rousing,,
The little soldiers fought,
As dice were rolled they marched,
No matter what they thought.
Even from their exclaves,
They tried to hold their ground,
Even though they faltered,
Sometimes success was found.
Through the night they played,
Hoping for an unexpected win,
But by the time the sun came up,
They were all done in.
After this great failure,
They went back into their box,
Perhaps on a future day,
They will not be outfoxed.
