Settling of the modern-day
gay Western frontier,
quenches her thirst on rye
and beer,
she plays stud & draw poker, queer
black eights & aces,
The Lesbian Joker Wild

Poker Alice, her inspiration
famous gambler and saloonkeeper,
in admiration, Jennifer Tilly, sexy
Hollywood actress in lesbian 'Bound' 
who won the
 World Series of Poker Tournament.

The Lesbian Joker Wild rides across
rivers and railroads,
bluffing and betting,
Spades, Clubs, Hearts, & Diamonds
fanned out in a saloon setting
from Sweetwater to Brokeback Mountain.

Blue denim & rawhide chaps to protect
her thighs from the Rio Grande & Snowy River, we named
face after her.

I shall not reveal which cards I hold in my hands, Sage. LOL! I do love to see Jennifer Tilly when I have the chance. Thanks for this. Love and peace,

I like poems and lyrics that deal with care games, the 'holy game of poker', leonard Cohen's being a favourite: 'you notice that there is a highway curling like smoke just above her shoulders...'
and of course, Neil sedaka's, 'Solitaire', 'and the still the kin g of hearts is well concealed.' Your poem is a worthy addition to this genre, Sage. Keep on dealin' em, lady!

Got your character's all lined up for when that day comes, and I assume that you know it WILL come and you can start favoring which actress' will get to play these partts. I am cheering on the little Tilly Filly (she'd probably be angry at me for that, I don't care) because she absolutely TURNS ME ON.

Sage
You would give the Cincinatti Kid a run for his money at poker or any other game...lols
You are a naturally gifted writer and performer, and whether you are wearing a stetson and leathers or your birthday suit, you never fail to deliver...:)
Keep playing that hard game...with those steely eyes and resolute determination...
You are a Natural Winner !!
