Red Rover

I just can't fathom

Why my mom ever let me

Clothesline other kids.

Gambling

"No Problem," I thought,

"no man alive has ever

lost Russian Roulette."

Pokemon Go

Stop at the corner

Pokemons are waiting there

Gotta catch 'em all!

Flirting

A risky glance shared

A careful Mona Lisa 

The smile paints the room

Life

Big time doctor job

Pretty pink plastic children

But still no answers.

Play Ball

The boys of summer

Begin training in the spring

And finish in fall

Irish Poker

Black or red? ... mmm, black?

Wrong. It's a red seven. Drink. 

Higher or lower?

I will say ... higher? 

It's a black queen. Freaking good;

My drink is so strong;

Ginger ale and whiskey.

In between or outside? Ummmm...

Outside? Incorrect. 

It is a black ten.

Three drinks. Shit. Don't think, just drink.

Now for the hard part:

Which suit will it be?

How to make this random choice?

Hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs...

I'm gonna say clubs?

I actually got it right! 

IT'S CLUBS! It's over!

As I start to leave

With my unfinished beverage

The dealer asks me:

Want to play again?

I halt. Buzzed from my last hand,

I reply: all right.

Rust.

Toil and grovel

Bear or man will take your life

Cry and start over

Game Theory

A zero-sum game

Balance of utility

One wins, one loses

Harvest Moon: A Haiku

Farming takes too long,

So marry me please, stranger,

You do it instead.
