Card Sharks

Peace and acceptance come easily to some. To others, it comes with a price. At times, we are forced to play the hand we have been dealt, regardless of whether the outcome will be in our favor or not. And so, slowly, one by one, the cards are all laid down on the table for all to see.

He said to me… She said to her husband…


Some girl from work wants to move to Leslie
I want to move to Leslie

Some lady from work made this necklace for me
I made this necklace for him

Some lady from work made these pickles
I sent some pickles home with him

I have a fire training burn I have to go to
I want you to record this fire burn for a friend

I am letting a guy from work borrow the trailer
Will you get his trailer so we can borrow it

I’m picking up the trailer from D’s house
Oh, he stopped by and picked up the trailer

This girl from work has cancer
You go to work. I’ll have a friend take me

Oh this guy I work with called me
Call him from your phone, he has no house #

Let’s buy this house and did so.
I am just not happy. I want a divorce.

We will do these changes to our new house
My friend is leaving his controlling, manipulative wife

I got a new position working nights
He needs a place to move to until he gets on his feet

You change your shift because mine pays more
You work days, I’m going to work night shift.

No time to call after lunch or during night
He just calls at night to talk and we meet on lunch

I miss you. When will I get to see you more.
We are just friends. I would never do that to you

I have to run to Meijer and the FD
T stopped by today while you were at work.

I’m just not happy We’re just friends.
I’m not attracted to the hobit

I met someone
He just needs a place to move to with his kids. He left his wife.

I’ll go stay with my parents
This room can be for the boys, the girls, and one for him

Yes, but she is divorced.
I would never do that to you, I promised.

Fine, Yes we have been together
No, we haven’t ever been together.

It’s been going on over 8 months
Nothing was going on. We are just friends.

You don’t have to make this physical
You have to be THIS TALL to ride THIS ride.

Don’t confront him or he will beat her
She is an evil, lying, manipulative person

They ARE divorced! Where else would I live?
He is leaving his wife. Can he stay here?

You wanted me to hurt, you’ve succeeded. She doesn’t want anything to do with me now.
He told his wife we were together and I’m mad

Fine, I will rent this apartment
I will go live with my cousin

So you see, sometimes people know how to bluff their way through hand after hand; however, once all the cards are laid out on the table, it becomes very clear how the game was being played.

When the cards aren’t content to be within your hand and decide they want to shuffle around with another suit, it’s time to throw it all in and walk away. Let them continue to play 52 pickup with an occasional game of spoons and poker. In the end, you will be blessed with a full house. Trump that!
