For Escamillo, who loves the Nero Wolfe books as much as I do
The
boys of the brownstone, in shirts and ties
Studying
cards with jaundiced eyes
Every
Thursday night the same
(Though
work could interrupt one’s game)
Lon’s
the dealer, Fred plays aces
Saul’s
the king of poker faces
Orrie
hopes his luck will turn
Archie’s
hand might crash and burn
3am,
Saul wins once more
“Next
week,” growl the rest and they’re out the door.
