My friend Benny was always lucky at playing poker;
he always won money at it.
Benny was lucky with women as well; he never seemed
to get rejected and always had girlfriends.
But though an otherwise nice guy, Benny cheated at poker,
and he cheated on women.
Benny sometimes played poker with dangerous men
and I thought one day he’d get caught cheating with them
and end up dead and buried somewhere, a missing person,
never found.
But Benny’s biggest mistake was cheating on a crazy woman
who sent him to his grave with a bullet in his head.
