*** Notice to the residents of Milton Creek ***

Tom serves as mayor. never complaining, so he gets what he requests 
No blood in his steak, apple pie with sweet cream. Aces cooks that meal
to perfection and I profess it will be made available to all of our guests
but only if you cowboys remove those sharp

Aces

New beginnings 
Solo

Got here in a
Group

Part of a 
Pack

Now in the
Lead

No longer a middle
Child

Ace of
Clubs
New ways of
Thinking 

Ace of
Diamonds
New ways of 
Earning 

Ace of
Hearts
Be still one
Minute

Ace of 
Spades
Transform or
Die

52 cards and
I’m just
One

Premium MemberThe Flying Aces

The Aces are coming the female ducklings said. There’s Dash!
Duckling adoration toward these valiant flyers with panache’.
One glided in on half a fighter jet that had a huge gash.
They entered the French restaurant and made a great splash!

They are heroes! The French ducklings yelled out with glee.
You can have him and Jim but save Henry

Aces, Braces, Faces and Laces In Wintry Watersheds

Life lost in saline streams
Straining to see
Possibilities in reams and streams
Crane to love me

Although I desire nothing unproven
In the world I grapple to save
From madness and sadness woven
In webs only the brave

Dare to challenge
In the open where nerves
Bent on revenge
Achieve rubbish that serves

No useful purposes
In improving prospects 
For souls that befriend porpoises
Upon finding at their

Premium MemberFour Aces and a Black Moon

The bet had been bound ... and boldly called,
          Right there on the cold castle grounds at eventide -
               Guests and dignitaries watching, under a mocking moon.
     Daintily,

Hold All the Aces

hold all the aces....
never able to gain the upper hand
never dealt a winning hand 
never able to 
hold all the aces....
the cards were stacked against me
it was rigged 
i was hustled 
never able to 
hold all the aces....
even when i though i had the winning hand
i was always bet by an even better hand
never able

Aces

 With three aces
in my hand,
I raise the stakes
looking dumb under bloody lights--
packing a Hold- Em win!

Premium MemberHer Four Aces

Grandma 85

She sits across the table 
from the best hand she has ever been dealt 
Her four Aces,  
The greatest joy of her life
Her most favoured and loved children

She has not always been dealt the best hands
Her early years on a farm in Alberta
with her brother and two sisters 
Those were hard years
They didn't

Old And Holding Aces

I am old, youth lost does so deeply hurt
no more whiskey drinking brawls,
now slow and tired, feeling older than dirt
I no longer chase the pretty gals at all.

I am old, bad knees and snow on my head
no more , wild nights out dancing,
watch late news, now fall asleep instead
gone forever are my

Striking Aces

I drop to speed like a falcon
I dominate the heavens like a typhoon
I complete the landscape like the sun
And heel my will like a stallion

Shining through time like a diamond
You’ll only find my spec if you rewind
When cave lions hunted and killed with fury
And cavemen had no place left so scurry

In a white suit and

Premium MemberAces and Eights

At a poker table in a Deadwood saloon,
Wild Bill Hickok popped his last balloon.
He suffered the most ignominious of fates
while holding black pairs of aces and eights.
Bill was unexpectedly shot in the back of the head.
“Crooked Nose Jack” McCall rendered Hickok dead.
Wild Bill was playing a game of five card draw.
His assailant was someone he

Pocket Aces

You say " I can't imagine how you get so bad, bro"
"Pocket aces aint all that bad, yo"
but when we're talkin' about aces
Yeah, I was dealt a good hand 
but all that flops are are straight faces
and I just ain't feelin' it, man

Sometimes I feel like a foul ball
That just looked like a fly
I'm all
