Vowels

In “Words with Friends,” I want to howl
When playing while needing a vowel.
            Unless I choose “Swap”
            My chances will stop;
I might as well throw in the towel.

Yet sometimes I’m stuck with a glut
Of vowels – I have nothing but.
            I’ve nowhere to go;
            My points stay down low.
It’s obvious I’m in a rut.

We all know in gaming, of course,
There’s no room for bile or remorse.
            We play what we get -
            Rejoice or regret -
Then hop right back up on the horse.
