Last Call

Know When To Fold ‘Em

By Earl W. PearlPublished 2 years ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

When a loner who was happy in his bubble

Started drinking with a woman who was trouble

They decided to get married, seeing double

Their marriage sadly built upon a heap of rubble

What had started with a double shot of whiskey

Got ‘em contemplating doing something risky

So this woman who was very much a mystery

Was another poor decision in his history
