David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

Only Game In Town

Play or fold stakes are high,
I raise you bluff, I see the lie,
Call! show me what you got,
nothing at all, I take the lot. 

Play or fold lets up the danger,
Russian roulette real game changer,
No bluffing just ride your luck,
get it wrong really gonna suck.

What’s the matter got no guts,
yeah plenty, but I’m not nuts,
No fun in gambling away my life,
besides I’ve cleaned up tonight.    

Oh come on we can’t stop now,
one last game then take a bow,
Ok must admit, I do love a dare,
especially when playing solitaire.

Sigrid Ermine September 12, 2020 at 4:37 PM ... Cheerio, Good Morning, David...! Adorable challenge in your picture perfect card game, it's gorgeous, spoken in lovely jest. ..... Strange, our timing writing these reference David poem, - I must be in 'solitaire' highest echelons, after eight celebate years. (funnily enough, I so enjoyed washing my car of a night time for the first few years) Stupid as it is, it's literally poetry which finally has pushed the 'wake up button', or has coincided! .. . Now to focus on an obtainable bloke....! David Kavanagh September 12, 2020 at 9:05 PM Thank you so much 8 years is a long time most people would throw in the towel, but poetry has opened a new chapter in your life, Yes Sigrid obtainable is the easy part it’s worthiness you should focus on, I was lucky enough to marry a wonderful girl who’s not into poetry but opposites attract sometimes, best of luck on your search the world no universe is your oyster cheers David
