Card Table

At risk of sounding self indulgent
With more insipid banality
Into my pocket my last lone cent
I'll leave the table with dignity

The table's yours to hold or leave
Your eyeshade bold and bright
Your elbows on the green felt weave
My twenties all took flight

It's all yours and freely given
Enjoy until my return
