Poker Anyone?
Life is truly like a game of cards
At a young age we are dealt our first hand
We have to learn to fold, pass or play
Opening is an option we also have to learn
We must master the art of bluffing
As well as always giving respect to the dealer
When accepting the winnings, never gloat
In turn, when faced with losses, never brood
Sometimes we even play on credit as well
And must therefore pay back when winnings show
There are always games going on with many players
As well, there are so many different types of games
We must choose which game to be in
Or be able to walk away from a table without regret
Most of all, when the chips are down,
We play through and for ourselves
Ante up!
