"PRACTISING MY POKER FACE"

So you want to get to know me,

but just to find any flaws to see,

before you judge as you please?

Tough luck.

I’ve read you first.

I’ve got my sources.

Poke all you like.

Be glad I’m not a beehive.

You’re displaying your so-called ‘alpha’ status

while I choose to remain mysterious.

You think you’ve got it all figured out,

but I know where your pawns are at.

I’ve already thought three steps ahead.

I don’t want this game

you’re forcing me to play

the way you’ve been doing to them anyway.

Behind your back

and under your sleeves,

will it be Ace of Spades or The Joker?

I may not be the Queen of Poker,

but I’ll let you speculate

as if I’d take your bait!
