0 plasmid Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm afraid I know nothing of the sport of curling, other than that it somehow involves sliding a stone along ice as broomers sweep a path. So it's of course not what I've intended, and I'm at a loss to tell how well it would fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plasmid Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 A baseball player trying to round third and head home but beaten by the throw and forced to stay at 3rd base?Not exactly what I had in mind, but so close that I'll call this won.I had in mind not a player, but the baseball itself. The "king of the mount" and "allies won't let me go" after the retreat would go along with that answer slightly better, but so much of the imagery is accurate for a runner heading home as well that it seems like that would be splitting hairs.

Question
plasmid
King of the mount, I'm venturing out
To one of the four nearby
Straight to the knight in armor I sight
While tempting the fates I fly
Foe in my path assails with wrath
And dare I not land a blow
Forced to retreat in shameful defeat
My allies won't let me go
