Texas Hold Em
The deal begins, two cards strong
a few are dealt pockets, and some
may start with deuce and seven,
off suit, with nary a hope, but
there is still hope, still the flop,
the turn,
the river,
nobody draws dead out of the gate
pocket rockets can still be beat
by sevens full of twos
The flop comes up, shared by all
equal opportunity, regardless
of the cards you were dealt
when this journey first began
you have a better notion of where
the cards lead, but there is still
the turn,
the river,
chances remain to build your hand
to better your odds
It's late in the game, but cards
remain on the table, in the deck
ready to make it or break it,
if only you hold on, see the next
great adventure unfold, just a flip
a flip of a card, all will be known
the mystery done, the dealer
takes his toll from under your tongue
and you take that ride down
the River Styx.
