Mushy

Compare this love,
To my favorite activities,
The " Fun and Games "
Need some clever similes.
Start off with a deck,
A 52 card hook-up,
We get shuffled around,
And our hands are held in Hold'em.
I have poured out my heart and soul...
I mean chips,
Into the pot...
Er... Relationship.
Your poker face is enough to make me fold,
It's cute, yet stern,
And it rakes in the gold.
If I am beaten,
We'll go to a pool hall,
Where a person is only judged,
By the direction of a cue ball.
A confining billiard rack,
What lies inside is set free,
Though you have the upper hand,
And know the angle of me.
Are we more than partners,
From our shots that wrought,
If performance gets shaky,
We may need more blue chalk.
8-ball side pocket,
Banked off the rail,
If ya make it in,
Our hearts could sail.
