Competition: Limericks or Haikus
Alrighty, we haven’t had a good competition here for a while, so here’s your chance to win some $38 Irish Winter Festival feeder tokens: I want to read your best poker / Paddy Power Poker-based limerick or haiku! And to start things off, my own efforts:
I log onto Paddy Power Poker
Trying to prove I’m no joker
Despite my best play
I’m saddened to say
At poker I’m just mediocre!
Wow, how good was that?! Forget this marketing business, I’m gonna be a Poet Laureate or win the Nobel Prize for Literature with that effort 
Ok, now for the haiku:
Paddy deals the cards;
Straight on the board, time to bet
Flush takes it; I suck
That one, not quite as good! Anyhow, get cracking and EvFris will decide the two winners next week and award the prizes. I’m off to Croatia for 10 days tomorrow morning - that’s how I roll! Good luck in the meantime folks!

MickRua is the King of Paddy Power,
way better than the rest of this shower,
buck played him a game,
but left in great shame,
Rua felted him after an hour

Mick Rua is a terrible fish,
the Sharks say ‘yum yum, he’s delish’,
they swarm to his table,
cos they know he’s not able,
and for more donks is all that they wish.

There was a man from nantucket,
he played poker against the Big C,
he lost and he kicked the bucket,
Ciaran laughed and said “I am away for a wee”.

My mum started me out at poker.
She said to stick with the pace
Stop messing about and being a joker
And leave that poker back at the fire place.

As usual it was raining away
So I came to Paddy Power to play
My aces were cracked
By a King and a Jack
So I knew that it wasn’t my day!

Opened the blog today
Paddy Power had another giveaway
The field was wide open
For a free feeder token
I just couldn’t think of anything to say!

They travel from coast to coast
Arriving by land, air and boat
As I’m sure you’re aware
Theres a big prize to share
Provided by Paddy of course

I’m up against Big C and, o golly!
I’ve just spotted old Texas Dolly
But give me this token
By God I’m not jokin’
I’ll beat them and scoop all the lolly
