A Date With Lady Luck

As happy as I could be

A Date With Lady Luck

Is clearly what I needed

To change the tides for my fortune

Neverly depleted

Now being governed by dimes and pennies

Yet which one shall I choose

Each lady is beautiful in their own way

So many choices

Yet there are only 4 I can put in play

During this ongoing game of life

Shall it be The Queen of Hearts

She sparked my latest financial windfall

Or maybe The Queen of Spades

Forget her she's already been played

Only two left to claim my fortune

The Queen of Clubs parties and stirs up to much commotion for me

Not as reliable as The Queen of Diamonds

Her kiss is worth being on time for

A Date With Lady Luck

Has now been set

Because around 8:00 P.M.

At Ceasar's Palace

The poker table is where

I took her by the hand

Played a Royal Flush to commend a large cash pot

Winning vastly within the land of my gambling fortune

Her presence substantiated only a menial portion

Of what's yet come

Yup--lots of women feel they've been played

Life is a gamble. There are moments of winning and losing. You either win something or lose something. You cannot keep everything. Not all the time. In some cases, you take home with nothing. In life, just like a poker game, you need to learn how to choose and weigh things respectively. You have sucessfully made it explicit that this poem carries the double meaning of two allegories. Nicely done!

Gambling - is it talent or luck? Hopefully the ladies are on your side. Interesting write.
