Texas, Omaha, Follow the Queen, Five Card Draw…
Happy One Month on Medium, Emy. What a strange and interesting journey.
With the Queen of Diamonds on her ring finger
Remember, “She’ll beat you if she’s able.”
Or that’s how the song goes
But if you’re asking for my experience
I’d say I’ve won them all
And lost a piece of myself everytime I beat the house
See, my father taught me the game at age five
My cheeks have been royally flushed ever since
My eyes gleamed of chips from the winnings from my first Casino trip
And you can trust the Ace of Spades is always up my sleeve
Always ready for war
Whether playing with a deck or
Bringing out the knives
You’ll be the King of Hearts before you know it.
I don’t play Texas Hold ‘em anymore
It’s five card draw, or get a move on
I married the game, after all.
So, it’s my way, or the highway.
You know…
Happy wife, happy life….
Either way, I’m anteing up.
So either call it, babe, or raise your white flag and fold already, will ya?
