Poker Frustration
For jacks or better or two pairs, I just get even money.
When this is the best I get, it is no longer funny.
Each time I try to get a winning combination,
getting unwanted cards causes me some frustration.
What brings me ruin is often my own greed.
A royal flush would be a dandy thing indeed.
However, I fall short by one card again.
I have an ace, king, queen, jack, but no ten.
If this keeps happening, then I'm a fool to play.
I just have to get up enough willpower to walk away.
