Short Poker Game Poems

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 have never been on a safari.
never been on an Alaskan cruise.
never been bungee jumping
never got shot in a poker game
never been on a lion hunt
never driven a car in the Indy500
never piloted a 747
but I can still die happy
because I never wanted to do any of these things...

Oh, how I love a good game;
I anxiously await my turn,
And then I make my play.

I also love a good play;
Good scripts, for which I’m always game;
Stories with a good turn.

When the tides of stories turn,
It just makes the play
Afterwards, for coffee I’m game.

On weekends, I love a good poker game; it’s a game that can quickly turn on a wrong play.

I played a game of poker,

Thinking I held all the cards.

I thought I truely had her,

Neverminding the visible scars.


I played being sure of a victory,

Never realizing I would hit a wall.

Now all is lost, all history.

I now sit in tears, but I once walked tall.


I played a game of poker,

Never realizing the game would play me.

Now I long to hold her,

Yet mine she will never again be....

Right now I’m thinking,
Beach, ocean, sea, waves and gulls around me;
Sand and salty breezes in my hair;
It’s nineteen degrees outside and I’m frigid, 
even here, inside.

I don’t suppose an obliging house elf
Would conjure it for me, would he?  
What am I saying?
There he is, napping snugly beneath my electric blanket; 
The one he won from me in a poker game!

I am afraid of clowns someone said.
No one laughed.
It was a serious poker game.
Chuckie glared in my direction.

I had not noticed Freddie or Jason yet.
Concentrating so hard on my cards.
When I looked up I tried to bow out.
But I was held in place.

An invisible force controlled me.
A dementor was here!
I was his puppet.
I wished I knew where my invisibility cloak was.

Dracula and the werewolf began salivating.
I knew I was in big trouble now....

He spent his nights drinking
Instead of 
Helping his children with their homework
Attending their sporting events
Driving them to school
And to their friend's houses
He spent his nights drinking
Staying out all night at a poker game
Where he gambled away all of the money in his pockets
He took money from his daughter's piggy bank
Leaving an I owe you note that he wouldn't pay back
Leaving all of the responsibility to 
The mother of his children
Because
He spent his nights drinking...
