Gamble Gambit

Anti up and deal the cards.

Face down. Face up. Call your game.

Call my bluff.

         Perhaps I’m lying.

Shrink and fold

         If you’re so lame

You can’t endure the hot/cold sweats,

Take a stand without regrets,

Lose the battle?

Lose the farm?

Face the challenge?

Place your bets.

 

You might be a first-move-maker

If you have it in your gut to

Gnaw and gnash and bare your fangs,

Claw and climb the rotting rut.

 

Taking chances.

         Lashing out.

                 Slashing deep

                          The unkind cut.
