Codename - The Kid

Oh you were sweet
And naïve
And gorgeous
Made me realize
That I am not ready
For younger men
Thanks

I needed the verb “oscillation”
and it came on the verge of frustration
since the word “undulate”
didn't quite fit the grade
for my new poetic creation

Codename – Archer

So thanks to you I’ve learned to hate the Ravens
By your sweet grace I’m a Steelers’ fan
That part was just to spite you
I didn’t even know about either team
Until you busted in
I also have a bow
And shoot it
Funny how the violence evaporates
And the mind goes blank
The indestructible arrow that you gave me
Has snapped
Not sure why I keep the pieces
Thanks

PokerFace

Whos' pride gets hurt
Whos' ego gets burnt
Who's the first to call
the first to crawl
Who'll let out a groan
As their hand grabs the phone
While the mind screams 'THINK!
You don't want to blink
You've been counting cards
And you hoard a few hearts
You may ruin your score
If you hasten the draw
So you stiffen your stand
Pray you hold better hand
Yet the doubt sets in
You don't care if you win
Throw it all, make the call
Pride be damned if you fall
But player's folded and gone
Left the chips and moved on
