Canned Ace
The zephyr on the weather vane
now pointing North
and this constant back and forth
Finally taking Standing Hampton down Candy Cane Lane
The Red Barron shot down in flames

Ace Up My Sleeve
Cold cards cold sweat shuffling cheques
Bait in the water but no one bets
Blinds drag slow the table is tight
Limp to the river it’s hunting night
Sharks circle the weak swim near
I smell blood my time is here
Pocket hustle slick and clean
They chase a wheel they chase a dream
False bravado overplayed
A reckless wager and price unpaid
Flop flips

Ace in the Hole
In the memory of my imagination
I recall the love of happiness.
Congruously convened in small cracks,
Between doubt and ecstasy.
Surfing through ever-similar variances,
Effused with vague purpose and undefined vigor,
I groove with the best.
And yeast with the least.
Let's take the adventure.
With endless overture.
I'll wrap you in my loving embrace.
My fox among the foal.
My ace in the hole.

The ace of pentacles drawn

She had a kind face
Opportunities you might not have thought of
Potential of making money
A fresh start
I was beginning to like this card

Charley Rabbit Flying Ace
Neighbor’s son, Charley Rabbit was apparently some kind of flying ace.
He was one of the few rabbit pilots in world war two to keep the pace.
Parents went on and on about his exploits, it was practically a disgrace.
Not one of these unbelievable stories came with a sliver of grace.
I figured Charley Rabbit would be as

Flying Ace Kills It
Snoopy was slamming through the skies
At top speed, stealthier than the other fliers
Flying ace of the year, he assured anyone who would listen
Tweety bird sat in the co-pilot seat, knowing he’d best be quiet
They looped and whorled and rat-a-tatted the enemy
Guns blazing, fierce and untouched.
Sixty-two bullet holes, and they were unscathed.
Snoopy stretched his hand out

Grow Global, Dear Frankie Ace
Towards thy very best
I project a saving nest
To save the wordy test
From the earthly pest
And to luck, leave the rest
As pure as a blank page
That gets poets' hearts into cage
The worries and bubbles of age
Get some disengage
And others enrage
Don't mind them-- every open tongue
Measuring the troubles of failed lung
Restrains those awesome lines unsung

My Ace Up the Sleeve - In Bidens Own Words
I'm senile, demented, a has been, a dud,
At least that's the story, the Republican fad,
Yet little they know in their haste to throw dirt,
That they're helping my cause with their views so absurd.
Each arrow they fly with anger and speed
Is akin to a child that as yet doesn't read,
It has no direction it lands off

Ace colonoscopy doctors Kellen Karl Kovalovich

Though necessary to down:

I grudgingly accept short lived
