Kenny Rogers famous song has been a talisman in my life forever. Just get on with it and count the wins and losses later. I'm a gambler at heart, but can walk away from Vegas tables.

LOL. All I could think of was how we gamble with our funny money when entering blind or otherwise prompts. Tom watches with a twisted smile as we fork over extra money to build up our pot. :-)

Ha ha. Never thought of that one.
Comment from Brett Matthew West
Played that game before. Know what you are talking about. Picture could have been the poem. Poem itself was full of the hard truth and was well written. Write on.

This was good Dallas sound like some one playing cards with the devil himself. And if you play cards with the devil you know you'll never win!!

That's right. Thanks for reviewing.
Comment from Joan E.
I admired your poem as social commentary about gambling and as a metaphor for life. Your use of the alliteration of "d's" and "b's" adds intensity and your play on "Holding losing hands" is effective. Cheers- Joan

Comment from TAB_that's me
Well the dealer doesn't care whether you win or lose but the casino does. My ex used to gamble a lot so I went to the casinos back then too but no any more. I am a much more peaceful person now. Good poem:)

Thanks for reviewing. I used it as a metaphor for life and deceit.
Comment from rspoet
An excellent poem, cards and life, is the deal fair?
"Deceit shuffles fate" is an excellent phrase. "Hopeless gamblers" leaves no room for doubt.
I loved the ended with the twisted smile.
Excellent presentation with a great phonograph to poem match, framed in black with the red font
I enjoyed listening to Kenny one more time, never really thought about the possibility of him being a metaphor.
Excellent, made me rethink.
