Upon the ruby studded ground
Men faced each other, fat and round
Each one standing, all like drones
Never to touch the precious stones
They march toward each other through the plains
A battle ensues and one remains
One man marches through the dead
And places a crown upon his head
Soon, only one army is left alive

I ask you, what is being described?

(In reply to hummm...sounds like by Debbie)

Hmm, I 'm not sure Debbie, James and Austin may be right:
the 8th sentence says: And places a crown upon his head 
This is typical for the promotion in checker.

The second sentence says:
Men faced each other, fat and round  
I think this is closer to checkers then to, say a knight in chess.

Debbie, I think checkers, what do you think?
