Premium Member I cannot play Poker
Some people can play poker Not me My thoughts and feelings sit at the edge of my face Jumping on the necks and backs of people If you disgust me, my disgust might take a bite out of you If I listed all the things that irritate and disgust me You would feel put upon and irritated No one wants to hear...

When Sheep Play Poker
"A straight! Two-three, five-six and eight," but Mildred bleated, "Ain't no straight; you, Alice-ewe, are one dumb rump." Bright chortles burbled round the stump till Jingles raised, "Two straws of hay," too rich for Fay-Fay: "I can't play, though, know that ram hauled in by truck? I thought he gave me … lotsa luck!" Suzette guffawed, "Not luck you meant." "Perv, pigsty's where...

All cards are on the table Esau holds kings and queens His secular greatness is swift Many chiefs reign in Edom Jacob draws but two's and three's His family lags behind in Egypt Becoming slaves to Pharaoh Is God playing the losing hand? Small beginnings deceive Spirtual greatness comes later Demanding patience and faith Until His Royal Flush appears Jesus holds the Key of David He is worthy...

Born that way angry antithetical mailer daemon when... all of Christendom bows their collective talking heads in supplication, a temporary truce and reprieve against bigotry, deviltry, idolatry (nah), et cetera across the nation.

Feel the rush, Chased the ghost, These are the things We miss the most. All of the laughs and all the cries, These are the words behind the lies. Never again and never enough, Know when to hold and when to bluff. Defeated myself, Forgot the past. These are the times, That never last. Deception and truth, Smoke and the mirrors, Groans and the moans, Laughs and the cheers. From...

Premium Member Frightening 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...
