Our Family Games

Our Family Games

 

 A game player I had not been

Except at times when drinking gin

Playing cards with my brothers

Shouting out at one another

 

Of the games that we played

Were some I won on better days

When lady luck was again

On my side so I could win

  

And with the games of my family

The competition was great indeed

With some cheaters and some players

Each vying to be greater     

 

And cigars my family tried

When at poker on Saturday nights

But the smoke proved too much

Making sick all of us

 

When the gambling was over and done

Our problems we had overcome

And we knew we’d play again

Trying our best to get the win
