Linda Alice Fowler Poet Limerick

Banned

My grandpa was a drinking man
he never lost a dealer’s hand
	we hired a caregiver
	to tend his bad liver
from bottle and table he’s banned

He tried to sneak drink and a game
and was feeling the stare of fame
	drew a royal flush
	his liver turned to mush
his game will never be the same
