no one play's
their joker's
till they're last to show.

no one
show's
an Ace
'till they have to show.

ain't love like that?

hold our hands
close & tight.
keep the hole card
outta' sight.?

never show a joker.
never expose an Ace.

never show a pair.

never show a trace
of feelin'
or what's been dealt.

not 'till
we're called.

chips are down.

joker's good
with Ace's & 8's.

full house.

or fold?

ain't
love
a lot
like
that?
