Poker Face

Poker Face

There once was a woman named Ann,

So handsome they thought her a man.

She buried an ace

With her poker face

And took home the haul as she’d planned.

Ann had no dear dreams of delight,

Nor ‘visioned herself clad in white.

She weathered the test,

Cards close to her chest,

And purchased her palace sans knight.
