There is a famous poem by William Carlos Williams, "This is Just to Say," written as though it were a note on a refrigerator:

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold



This poem is often used as inspiration for variance, so why not via board games?

I have placed
the robber
upon a hex
which you need

and have taken
your last card
you had the only
certain ore

A new soldier
I now have
And soon
Your largest army

I now have
control of France
Taxation
only a turn away

You needed
the money
to keep
control

Forgive me
but Germany
was really
making me mad

That red cube
I moved it
to Chicago
for 5 points

I know that
it had plans
for arrival
in New York

Take solace
that my
income will
reduce

We had a
great time playing
your old copy of
Dune togetehr

and then
I spilled
all my coffee
on it

Forgive me
I simply
do not know
what I'm doing

I understand your
ignorance of the value
this old game had
in my life;

you are new to this
boardgame "thing"
which is a source of
joy to me

but I cannot excuse
your lack of care for
someone else's stuff.
Sorry - no more games.

I think
you might take
the Mayor
next turn

and force
a premature
end
to the game

so I'm shipping
with the Captain
to earn
extra points

I wish
instead
I had taken
the Builder

I put your copy of
Commands & Colors
in a barrel
and set fire to it

I am sorry
but I was bored
and I had
nothing to do

and its
wooden bits
were just
so inviting

I hope you are
comfortable, strapped
tight into that
steel chair;

I think this cellar's
quite cosy,
even though its
never been swept.

Excuse me
now, I have to
go and, sadly,
won't be back.

I took your copy of
Lord of the Rings Risk
and crushed it
in a trash compactor

and then I melted
all the plastic
and burned the remains
in a kerosene fire

Forgive me
I just don't
feel like playing
it right now

I have eaten
the heroes
that were lost
in time and space

with which
you were probably
hoping
to triumph

forgive me
they were delicious
so tender
and so juicy

I made a fence
with the wood
that was near
your house

and which
you probably wanted
for an extension
to your small home

Forgive my
pretentious sheep
who refuse to live
with a boar
