Ending Abruptly

Here is a spin on classic, awful limerick:

There was a young man from Paris (“pair-EE”)

With such an awful sense of finish (“fin-EE”)

That his poetry tended

To always be ended

…abruptly!

And so it is with poker tournaments.

Have you ever stood near the exit area of a poker tournament? As players pass through, each one searches for a friendly face to approach. “Listen to this… I had [any two cards, really] and [blah blah blah… your friend isn’t really paying attention] and I’m out. Can you believe it?”

Every time.
