Solitaire
You play your cards so well.
Looks like you’ve had a lot of practice.
You seem to have a thorough grasp
of all the rules of the game.
As you cover every angle,
and you stymie every bluff,
and you bring the competition
to it’s full and rightful end-game;
you’re the last man standing
almost each and every time.
Though you leave the table
with a healthy jingle-jangle,
as the major winner of the evening,
you walk so cocky out the door
into what is left of the night.
You realize here you are again
Alone !
And the only game you’ve mastered
is the specialty of the house,
Solitaire !
