Tyler R. Martin
Playing solitaire on my phone,
Red queen resting comfortably
Under black King, black Jack’s below her.
Aces stowed away atop the board
Beside the clock with seconds ticking away.
I’m lost at two minutes thirty six seconds,
There’s no hint button so I restart.
After three minutes ten seconds I win,
My screen throws a little parade with bright lights
And red confetti and the a big:
YOU WIN!!! in the center of it all.
Then another victory after four minutes flat.
The next game, I concede defeat after only
A minute thirty nine.
The next is another crushing victory at
An impressive two minutes ten.
And there it’s isβ¦. added up it comes to
Approximately fifteen minutes of my life
Diving head first down the drain.
bourbon, cigarettes and syllables 
Nice work my friend.
And welcome back too ππ€

A few folks have said this recently and I’m perhaps starting to believe there might be something in it.
Guess time will tell if I get brave enough to take the plunge…
