An Ode To Poker Stars

Playing poker is a funny old game

There are highs, lows and more of the same.


You win some – you lose some
And on a good day you’ll gain
A few extra points and a cry of ‘Good game!’


And then on the odd day
You’ll storm to the top
And hopefully manage to cop a whole lot


Of bundles of cash which
You can then stash in order to
Play a few tables more


In case your interest has been
Slightly lit then I shall point you
At a good place to sit


In order that you can learn
How to play – the great game
Of Poker in just the right way.


Click the word Poker in order
To find your ass sat with other
Folks of a similar kind

All virtually sat in a virtual
Room – all trying to plot
Their opponents Doom


Raising and calling, going
All in ... Each trying their
Best to garner a win


Of course very few will
Actually Gain anything
Worthy without the strain


Of mentally stressing about
Who’s got what when all
You are is a virtual bot


No poker-face needed
For Poker Stars – just sit,
Stare, and pray for pairs


Or a Jack and a King will
Do just nicely providing a
Queen arrives precisely


Right in the flop or maybe
The river – that usually gives
The whole table a quiver


And now that you’ve got
A great overview, I’ve gotta
Go make a start and chew


My nails whilst I apply
Logic until my opponent’s
Are beat – Poker’s utterly brill.


Which is why playing
Poker is clearly
A game of skill.

Ta daaaa!
