Trump Card

His four beats your eight.
That call was really great.
His eight beats your ace.
What a sour face.
His run beats your run.
Because he’s number one.
His full house must win.
Even if Eric’s in.
His flush conquers all.
A bright and fiery ball.
Best throw in your chips.
And button up those lips.
Don’t dare question the deal.
He’ll tell you you’re not real.
He’s playing with just half a deck.
Now ante up your welfare check.
You want yourself a better game.
You’d best go back from where you came.
