flip a card,
spin a wheel!
put your numbers down!
cards are hot, tension taut,
hope for
ace of spades
one...
...more...
...game, everybody!
one! more! game!
play to win,
pay to lose
one! more! game!
three of diamonds,
eight of hearts!
winner takes it all!
one more drink, or
two or ten!
up to you, your call!
big decisions
think hard, now!
down go three more shots
careful choices,
fuck it all!
just put in all you've got!
win two hands and
it's a streak!
how long before you fold?
come one, come all!
come young and old!
to play long past your peak!
