Best Playing Cards Poems

Around since 1885,
These playing cards contain
A fascinating history
That Google helped obtain.

My favorite fact’s from World War II.
(It’s more than rumored lore.)
Some special decks were sent as gifts
To prisoners of war.

These U.S. soldiers, held in camps
In Germany, did learn
That moistening the cards would yield
A map for their return.

Escape routes cleverly concealed
Within the layered cards
Would likely not...

Remember as a child playing cards,
Go Fish?
A child's life and fishing go together,
dreaming about catching the big one.
How big is the big one?
At what age will they catch it?
Will it be from land or from a boat?
Yes a child will dream about the big one,
the big one being on the end of their fishing line.

Fun playing the cards,
Win, lose, one always must choose.
Card games never lame....

I had been on a long hike with my men from Juno to the Ardennes
on the way my comrade lost a leg and my Mother had passed away
when I had sailed the Atlantic to Uk shores
But please don't court martial me

Mentally, I had my own war within and without there in the Ardennes
Carcuses of men...

Around the table they sit,
cards in hand and talking sh-t.
Sometimes win, and sometimes lose
being together is what we chose.

BS is our pastime,
we love to shoot the bull.
The memories of the old times,
the dreams we have of new.

But soon we all are parted,
time to hit the hay.
We've got to face reality,
and go our separate ways.

We'll get...

This my game is up

The cards are about to fall

Not long now

Until my bluff is called

And everyone will see

Me for who i really am

I'm not even holding a pair 

And worst of all

The stake i am gambling with

Isn't even mine 

Yet i still went ahead and bet it knowing i could never pay it back...

Speaking Spanish wasn't easy for a gringo like me, but I had no choice. I was playin' cards and drinkin' Mezcal at a nowhere bar in El Paso. I didn't have any money in my pockets but I was bluffing to win, I lost. I stood up, pulled my six gun and shot a man...

It's worth the trick...

            always the letters...
             the cheerful letters.

I dream there is a burning fire and near the fire
We play cards in the dark
And in the dark we lose and we laugh
And the black puddles
                            ...

The sobbing girl spent fifteen minutes gasping
Trying to get out words that made sense
Her chest was heaving, and her speech was blubbery
What happened? The Queen of Spades asked.

I know said the Jack of Diamonds. She was attacked.
By whom?
The fours, sixes, two’s, and sevens.
Why?
No one knows.

Queen of Spades was tired of these thugs.
There will be consequences,...

Worship not your turtles on Tuesday
Driving a convertible in traffic is inadvisable
Places you at risk, in peril of bird droppings
Never yawn with mouth open and head up
Yawning is sacrilegious with seat belts off

If you have daughters, don't!
They are not turtles and this is not Vegas
If you have sons, feed them peanuts
They will not become elephants...
