ANTE UP
An ultimatum
in a drunken state
dealt in a deck
with equal odds
where sharks were favored
holding the card
which now he is
not an ace no more
just a joker who
dealt an ultimatum
in a drunken rage
to a deuce in disguise
the game was fixed
from the beginning
there was no queen
she was a fool
to ever dream.
