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.
Harvest Moon: A Haiku
Farming takes too long,
So marry me please, stranger,
You do it instead.
Game Theory
A zero-sum game
Balance of utility
One wins, one loses
Rust.
Toil and grovel
Bear or man will take your life
Cry and start over
