    poker night

     beer in hand
    poker chips on table
    yes I enjoy this very much
    the guys cutting loose
    music full till
    cussing like sailors
    cut if you will
    jalepeno chips
    and a cheese dip
    air guitars
    and bluffing
    round of bowls
    coasters on beer stools
    goddamn it
    you rotten bastard
    hell I fold
    an old bassett
    collecting crumbs
    from careless chompers
    making a mess
    mid-week bliss
    winning loose change
    intermission dances
    and showing our best
    a drunken state of mind
    clinking bottles
    it is your deal
    no it's mine
    if your serious
    you're out of this game
    we're just here
    to have a good time
