A pool shark

Swims with the guppies

Half drowning

Half acting

But full of toy skills at times

He swears he's lucky

Andrea, thank you for the cup of tea. This one was out of the money, too.

Yep a pool shark carries a facade to extract money from his opponents. They'll blow bubbles, smoke and the wool before ones eyes..It's all a ruse.
