Poker Sam - Alan Bursky

The Legend of Poker Sam

This is the story of the very last hand.
Played by the gambler no one could stand.
Everyone called him Poker Sam.
His winnings were legend, his arrogance the same.
Poker Sam always played a perfect game.

All the players consipred to give Sam his comeuppance.
But they settled on payback
No one could spell comeuppance.
Someone had glued all of Sam's cards together
Sam coudln't play with the cards the same.
Nothing but backs, not one with a face.
Anyone else would fold right away.
This didn't stop Sam, he wanted to play.
With one little move, he was back in the game.

Just imagine the shock the other players all felt.
When Sam turned over a Card with the face of an ace.

All of Sam's cards had faces of aces.

But in all the excitement it seems Sam forgot, if you turn over five aces, you will get SHOT!
