Royally Flushing

A Poem by Little Mouse

It's your deal champion playa

It’s your deal
This is no game
Champion playa
You have no tells

Ante up
Burn
Flop
Turn
Check

So much riding
Blinds climbing
No limit to this madness!
I hold under the gun

Float
Check
No bluffing
I like playing straight

Fears Raise
I Call
Tension rising
I keep my game face

Banking on the river
I hold ‘em for one last round
This pocket has heart
Hoping to be flush
Praying it doesn’t get mucked!

Anticipating the showdown
The King of Hearts finally appears
For this lucky two-time champ
You bet this lady’s all-in
Sinking your boat
Settling for nothing less than a jackpot win

Good stuff... something Desperado about it... the Eagles song not the movie... the words build the tension nicely... very visual
