Your August 2020 Poem from Rachel Ann Bovier

"Deuces Are Wild"

By Rachel Ann Bovier

And there would always be a "Full House"

On the holidays and parties and such

And little Billie was just about nine

And never really said too much

He had always been a "Straight" shooter

But he was starting to show a new sign

But he was afraid to tell his two siblings

For they were almost like "3 Of A Kind"

Yes, only one year apart

And little Billie was the "Ace in The Hole"

For he was the baby of the family

And to him, that was pretty darn cool

But as the years went "Shuffling" by

Billie got tired of keeping it hush

For he knew that something was different

But when asked about it he'd get real "Flush"

Well it was time to "Reshuffle the Deck"

And "Discard" the young "King" for a "Queen"

Though unfortunately the rest of the "Players"

Had all "Folded" in spite of the scene

So, the "Chips" were cashed in and all counted

And Billie walked away with "A Pair"

And they were obviously both the "Same Suit"

And so, Billie had found her new mare.
