Poem for the middle of the night. . .?

Question:Just lost money on a poker hand where someone bluffed and then made their hand in an extremly unlikely fashion. . .
Here's a rhyming poem, off the cuff - because I'm bored right now, and sitting out of poker for a few minutes to relax.

Lots of Flies

Deceit and its use.
Just start with the truth,
make room to use
cues and clues
to loosen and fuse
the you with the ruse.

Slighting the lies,
the sly can't deny
they righteously cry
beguile and contrive
but never imply
that they falsify.

So, do you like it or not?

I love it. That last bit says volumes about the game of poker and the fine art of bluffing. It takes a good liar to pull it off right. In one way, I'm sorry you lost, but in another, I'm glad, for without that loss, we would have lost the opportunity to read this little poem.

Yes, very good...stellar phrase, "to loosen and fuse the you with the ruse." Great! TD

Yes. It's a keeper.

An excellent poetic description of the game of poker and its subterfuges. I'm glad you're back and a little more mellow. Welcome!

Oh yes, I like it. I love to play poker too. I got pretty good at it.

Another gem. I love your writing style. It is very different from anything else today.
