Thirty

Thirty is sneaking up on me
There's a wrinkle I can see
No longer young
My hat is hung
But my wit is as sharp as can be

Cards with the Gods

It started off normal, an ordinary day
When news of a game came drifting my way
To Seringale I wandered, hoping to see
Some skill at this game, so new to me.
Three hands had been dealt, but only two were there
Is the dealer playing?' I thought, 'That's hardly fair
I decided to watch, and only a few minutes I waited
Before the answer became clear, and the dealer stated
'The maximum bet is now 2000 gold,
Davairus you may call or raise or fold.'
A poke to my side stung me like a knife
As the game ended and the God threatened "Your money or your life"
Together we sat for several more hours
The ninja, the God and I, three warring powers
I left with my pockets fuller than they were
Don't ask me what happened, its a bit of a blur.
I may not know the rules, and I may not know the odds
But it was an opportunity not to be missed, Playing cards with the Gods.
