The night drains on
as my confidence erodes
in a series of bad beats
My arrogance
I strode confidently
into this viper pit with
now totally missing
Some witnesses
far less gullible than I
well versed in the laws
of poker probability
snicker mockingly
that the odds against
such sudden carnage
are a statistical improbability
It is now readily apparent
even to a dupe like me
that I am tonight's main course
a harpooned Moby Dick
served up
skewered on a stick
Come on Ahab
Give the deck another shuffle
I FRICKIN DARE YOU
One more deal is all I need
to slice off your cheating hand
and laugh maniacally
as the droplets of crimson circles
blot stain the green felt table
into a masterpiece
of revenge art
