Auntie Penny’s

penny ante

poker draws a crowd…

some related,

celebrated

folk with loads of clout.

♦

Rich and thin,

they come to win

and never fold or check…

sporting suits,

and diamonds, too,

they play on outside deck.

♠

Some are royal,

and numbers loyal

a 10-2 those that are…

from bearded mugs,

to one-eye thugs

to shovel wielding tsars.

♣

Yes, Penny’s club

exclusive, but

packs the stands with fans

–the true of heart

–the joking card

they give the regal hand.
