The dealer dealt the hand with deft finesse
Black aces and black eights
Felt the muzzle on my neck.
Written March 22, 2022
poker faces of those closest
are the last ones you will notice
but once you do
the friendship's through
lying dead and rootless
There once was a fellow like me
Designed to make love happily
But there was a vicar
Who said, "You can't liquor
Until you can grow a goatee!"
Saturday night with the boys.
Winding down before our game of poker.
Poker gods, be on my side!

my alligator loves to play poker,
he's a lot of fun and quite a joker,
because of that sly grin,
he always wins,
and my card play is just mediocre.
She didn’t play poker so well.
Her bluff was as clear as a bell.
Her insides would quaver
So much that they gave her
A hell of a smell of a tell.
your hand not tipped
playing your cards close to your chest
stoic, no twitches or tremors
never betraying
what you hold
I lay down the queen of hearts
They say I have covid,
Well, isn't that special.
So, they gave me Paxlovid,
And an oxygen checker.
Yet, I'm told it's better,
Than the pox or a poker!
I shuffle the cards
a five card deal
I parlay true love
you ante sex appeal
my poker hand good
a queen high straight
I win your heart
a twist of fate
The wife took a job that pays pretty fair
Combing out daylight from Trump's orange hair
Displaying his lust
Trump stares at her bust
Confirming an Ace can not beat a pair!
He refused to gamble as a rule although,
He heard something, that made his interest grow
It's true of one game
Strip poker's its name
The more you lose, the more you have to show!
A sign out front of a bar & grill shack
“Liquor in the front, poker in the back”
Suggestive, you betcha
Naughty image etcetera
Quite misleading, but an enticing plaque
A sign out front of a bar & grill shack
“Liquor in the front, poker in the back”
Suggestive, you betcha
Naughty image etcetera
Quite misleading, but an enticing plaque
A sign out front of a bar & grill shack
“Liquor in the front, poker in the back”
Suggestive, you betcha
Naughty image etcetera
Quite misleading, but an enticing plaque
There once was a young lady
I tell you she was somewhat shady
She played some strip poker
With brother's friends mediocre
In walked her mother quite shaky
aka "Liquor up front
Poker in the rear"
Poker fuelled the Las Vegas scene
With slot machines and dealers mean
Then Women's Lib came
And altered Hoyle's game
"A King NEVER outranks a Queen!"
nonpoker face are my two middle names
feelings are in my cheek, twist my mouth
you do not have to know me
to know me
I cannot bluff
because my face is a give away
you can look into my eyes and know me
I have no fences or filters
Ollie the Octopus with his 9 brains
Broke his 3 hearts in a quick poker game
The blue blood that ran straight to his heart
Suddenly stopped before it could start
It didn't take long before he withered and died
And Ollie the octopus waved us goodbye
I cannot play poker
Unless I want to lose all my money
My wedding ring, my house, my car and my husband
My thoughts are all over my face
There is nothing hidden from anyone
The most nonobservant person can read me
I have more tells than a tattletale
You bubble head.
What do you do when you get paid?
You bubble head.
As soon as you get out of bed.
With poker, you are not afraid
when it’s diamond, heart, club, or spade.
You bubble head.
Bubble
Robert Pettit for Nette’s Alphabets of Rondelet contest.
The queen of hearts
always deluded him,
never let him win.
He had sparkling time
with the ace of diamond,
getting it he’d bet the highest,
and win,
at least in poker.

Don’t gamble with winter: it’s cold!
Too cold to be chill, cool, or bold.
So cold the deck’s stacked;
I accept the cold fact—
You win, Cold Man Winter: I fold.

With rainbow and stout, and an Irish cold,
my vivid recollection — when to fold.
The smirk on green lips - a whip.
Sure knowledge of luck in grip,
as leprechaun laid down his hand of gold.

while the room spins around
dreams and wishes swoosh
in tandem in a mega swirl
one look and delirious delight
releases chaotic madness
a sea of sensations in motion
a swarm of tangents and explosives
perhaps concealed under bated breath
but the eyes never lie ~

I invited a lot of my friends to play poker with me
I thought I could beat them at the game you see
I've been spending more cash than what I've made
But now that I am losing my shirt I'm really afraid!
