A FAR POKER PLAYER

She has tn rec decks at her commands,
Yet always holds the self. anne hands
From start until finish.
Although she is as much at sea
As any body well could be,
Her stacks do not diminish.
She's almost ALWAYS full on Jacks
To hold straight she never lacks;
No luck could be diviner.
But when she runs against q bluff
She goes up like pinch OF snuff,
For she's an ocean liner
