Showdown In Berlin Poem by Joe Rosochacki

It was a SHOWDOWN in Berlin
Within
The Grand Hyatt, let me make this STRAIGHT
The was a FULL HOUSE of poker players
Prepared to meet on this date
For pot worth a million euros
They would RAISE, BLUFF, and SHOW their wares
The tournament would be robbed by a kind of a PAIR
At least THREE OF A KIND more than that, who in the hell knows
But it was Euros at STAKE
The bandits made off with the money
They were equipped with automatic machine guns, grenades, and many a 9mm pistol
But most players were injured by ducking under tables
-So how does it feel to be a LOW CARD IN THE HOLE
Most likely, when they are caught, they will travel up the Rhine RIVER
When they are FLUSH(ed) out
And they will TURN out
In a prison, where they can accompany convicts of that felonious COMMUNITY
As for now, the crooks raised the ANTE.
