Mental Elixer

I believe all games
We played,
And the many puzzles
We worked on,
As kids
Helped stimulate
And sharpen
Our minds.
I’m not trying to claim
Our games of Solitaire
Were all that
Mind expanding,
But a game of chess
Can be one of the best
Mental elixirs
Known to man!
To this day
I still play regularly
To maintain
My mental agility.
