One Poem by Micháel McCormick

 

POKER NIGHT

 

Fold if you draw

  a Three of Torpedoes

  or the one-eyed Monk

 

The Queen of Crawdads

  brings better luck

 

Bet a shiny coin and

  Crow will see your bet

 

Crow likes to bluff

  but he has a tell

 

A gleam in his eye

  like a diamond in a well
