Poker

I wrote this to a friend tonight

It's just blurbed out

I opened it with this song

I lost to a guy tonight

I had AQ

He had pocket aces
It sucked

It sucked for many reasons

I hate losing

The dude I lost to
Lost his house during Ike

He rebuilt it himself
He had a good luck charm

Something he dug out of the rubble
It was his grandpa's

That's nice

But I hate losing
Nothing good about losing

He wore a cowboy hat

Beat me in San Leon

At Caspers

After I lost

The bartender gave me a paper towel

I drew a swordfish

That was mounted on the wall
While waiting for Jon

I think it was the right move

Betting it all on the Ace Queen
Had I not
I think I'd just bled on the last table

I don't like losing

Poker seems like a game you lose a lot to

But that is just me saying it was the odds that beat me

I hate losing
And will wonder about it

Because if I'd played conservative
I'd been on the last table

Short stacked

And I didn't want to do that again
So I went out in flames

But trying

It sucks to lose
