There once was a bookish Duke from Milan
who, while distracted, was played for a pawn.

Eventually, brains won out over brawn.

There once was a customer service rep
who spoke with a smile and great pep.
“That’s not my department,
but prepare for bombardment:
Your refund in twenty-six random steps.”
