Fifty Two Pickup
Poem submission for Ellie Hooves Wonderland Poetry Prompt Day 11
Fifty-two pickup, shut up, I say
Stupid little game
Cards shuffled
Thrown on the floor
You tricked me, okay
I'll pick them up, one by one
Make you wait while I count
Out loud and proud
Slow-Mo, one potato, two potato, three...
Done!
Fifty-two cards, but one is missing
I am fifty-three
Yup, it's me
I'm the ace you didn't know about
The "I'll play dumb, chic"
Who went along with your skit
The invisibly added one
Akin to Joker
Wanna go again, Queeny?
I bet you think all Kings are made for you
Probably wanna add the Jacks to your stew
Well, I got a trick for ya
Up my sleeve, you best believe
The whole pack goes
No love for semi pros
I'm the dealer
I'm the gambler
I'm the poker face winner
And you
You just folded your hand
Like how I just cleared the deck?
Fifty-two pickup, shut up
I am fifty-three
And evidently,
You don't know about me

Thanks for reading!
