Sweet poetry about moi... I'm speechless. Okay I'm not speechless, I'm never speechless but I am touched. And I do know the poems will be all flowers and sunshine and love and puppies and kittens and poker... all those things!!!



Okay, maybe not!! 

I can't wait

Roses are red,
Violets are Blue
Hey Witchywitchy,
This Poem's about you!!

The cards are not coming,
Gone card dead you see.
The best hand you have had,
Was two diamonds, a four and a three.

Should you patiently wait,
Until you get better hands?
Or just play like a donk,
And see how that stands?

You could just start calling,
with any cards, any two.
But that style of play,
Just isn't for you.

But you are having no fun,
as you fold, fold, fold, fold.
So you remember the story,
that once to you I told.

The Story of the greatest,
Poker players of all.
The ones who knew just,
When to fold, raise, or call.

First there was Jack,
What a good poker name,
When he held the jacks,
He was on top of his game.

But his Jacks ran into a girl
With a fantastic rack.
And her Big Pair of Queens,
easily defeated Jack.

She looked at the board,
And she knew that top pair.
We sometimes no good,
When certain cards were there.

She found it easy to drop,
Her hand that was made.
When the community cards,
showed three with a spade.

Even though all around,
Thought her pair was so fine,
She folded them quick,
seeing seven, eight, nine.

Her brother played poker
He was pretty good too,
He played suited connectors,
To beat me and you.

His two and three clubs,
Had won a few chips.
But his sister always folded,
With a smile on her lips.

Her patient, smart play,
Came in quite handy,
She waited for the board,
A pair and a Queen, quite dandy.

Her full house had beaten,
His flush or his straight.
That Donkeys always hit,
And good players Hate.

But the Queen with the rack.
Was still playing the game,
The next player sat down,
And I'll Tell you his name.

He is a gambling man,
By the name of chase,
And his twin brother joined,
I'll say his name was Jase.

Chase was a donkey,
all through and through.
He would call till the river
Then what would he do.

If the card that he chased,
Happened to be on the table.
Then he would re-raise,
If not he'd stay in the stable.

The Chasers get lucky,
They win and they win
But sooner or later,
That luck will run thin.

His brother, you remember,
I said his name was Jase,
He would call preflop,
with any rag and an ace.

He would crush the poor souls,
going all in with a pocket pair.
Jacks, Queens, and even Kings,
Lose when the board has an ace there.

But the girl with the rack,
She knew them quite well.
And she always beat them,
As time would tell.

The chaser would miss,
And his stack would go blind*,
And Jases aces would lose,
To her three of a kind.

Now Witchy remembered this story,
and it helped her through.
as she folded and folded,
and did not know what to do.

She thought of that tale
and the moral it kept.
All those other players lost,
while the Queen of Cards slept.

They eliminated each other,
trading all of their stacks,
Until she finally got cards,
The great Queen of Racks. 

The moral it is hard to explain,
I will give it a try just for you.
Tis good to have a nice pair,
and a brain is quite useful too.




* - A few friends and I coined the phrase Going blind, or Went Blind, as a way of saying blinded out.

As a note I wrote this as what I call an instant poem.  This means I saw the post about a poem, I clicked reply and I typed.  No rough draft or editing....just the thoughts as they came to my mind.  Hope you liked it. 

FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO PLAY ACES
CHUCK NORRIS WILL ROUNDHOUSE KICK YA IN THE FACES

 

there is a woman named witchy
whose withdrawl from poker got her itchy
so she was doomed to play
the game of poker all day
win or lose she kept going
all the while  knowing
shes one tourny away
from her biggest payday.

HMMMMMM CLEARING THROAT
