poem of the day May 13 

The poker hand

was played by 5

Dark and Light

Day and Night

the fifth was Fog

Four of them played  the same

Only one  had a different game

Ante up, the dealer dealt

from an old familiar deck 

living within the house of cards

Day and Dark drew inverse hands

Thick faced Fog hid his fate

Only 2 of them did discard

Night and Light did not improve

both drew cards of sleeping fools

So when the bidding started

Night and Light did drop out

Leaving Day and Dark

both with inverse mirrored  hands

sitting across from Fog faced man 

The betting went very high

almost to heaven 

top shelf of the sky

Day and Dark sat in full houses

with inverse out of jacks and nines

both thinking they had won

the golden pot of  milky stew

But when the hands were all laid down

It was revealed poker Fog 

had four of a kind

2 catch 22s 

to win the day

by obscuring all

points of view
