Fight night and Martian Jack

I have had a poker face on for the past three weeks and all this while i was in a game of blackjack. It worked for the first two weeks but then the obvious stern look seemed a bit out of place. "Ok here is the game plan" i said to myself, "Keep it going as long as you can and if you being to falter, dont expect anything just bolt for the roulette table and shout this man has a magnet in his hands."
I broke the first rule i allowed myself to expect. And as luck should have it the dealer was on the money and by the looks of things i have started to lose. Lose big time, the queen of hearts now stamps the deal shut i am not only in debt but i had started being in debt with the stupid poker face on.
Note to self "Take that constipated look off your face" . RSVP to note to self "I cant it seems to be stuck." Another note to self in reply to RSVP, "Run for the roulette tables." RSVP to note to RSVP, "OK!"....
Eventually i left the table, while i distracted the dealer with the whole look there is a whale on the stage trying to play elvis ... and as i ran towards the roulette table i was struck by a sudden cross wind .... straight from the ac ducts of my head all across the vents of where my heart used to be.
The poker face vanished and in its place the smirk had returned, i turned back to where i had left the bedazzled dealer and gulped all that i had lost in one large swallow (with some help from my friend corona) stepped up to the dealer and said HIT ME
It was an ace and a jack ... Blackjack ... and this time i had not placed a bet i won nothing but the satisfaction of knowing that chance had not given up on me.
I no longer needed the dealer or the game for now i was done with the gamble.
Phasers on full, shields up , aye aye captain, the fortress is ready, the moat is full and the draw bridge is up ..... and the volley of arrows ready .... FIRE FIRE FIRE
The dealer burns in a distance and the casino falls into ashes .... My job here is done .. no more expectation, no more care just a hard cased sharpnel wound tight enough to blow when needed
Im back and nothing is gonna SNATCH that away from me Not even a LOCK STOCK and TWO SMOKING BARRELS
