Noodles Playing Poker

Come sit at the table
and watch the noodles
playing Texas Hold 'Em
and Five Card Stud.

There are some interesting
noodles at the table
but they all fulfill
various stereotypes.

That noodle at the end
it is well liked
but very quiet and reserved
and makes some stupid desicions sometimes.
It sits and awaits its downfall
with ignorant joy.

See the noodle to the right
and how it is pretty confident
and not afraid to put it
all on the line.
This noodle fears not the beans,
and knows what it wants
at all times,
even on its birthday.

The noodle further left,
in a world of its own,
one might suggest,
is a very cool noodle
but only to those
who can appreciate it
fully.
A tragedy is achieved
when people ignore it.

The noodle who is dealing
has a way of making
all the other noodles
feel safe.
It leads with kindness
and a sense of equality
normally only found
in your everyday
kindergarten,
but not to suggest that this noodle
treated the other noodles like kindergartneners.
It's very complicated.

And finally,
there's the noodle with its back turned.
This noodle is an odd noodle.
Don't get me wrong, Beanmaster,
it is a very nice noodle.
But no one but the King of Beans
can ever really anticipate its move.
Somestimes it bluffs.
Sometimes it folds immediately.
And sometimes it pulls a
really good hand
from out of nowhere.
The noodle is the ace
that no one can find.

These noodles are playing poker.
They are taking risks,
making decisions,
being rewarded
and sometimes are smite down
by the odds.
It's actually kind of like something.
