Last Call
Know When To Fold ‘Em
By Earl W. PearlPublished 10 months ago • Updated 10 months ago • 1 min read
When a loner who was happy in his bubble
Started drinking with a woman who was trouble

Got ‘em contemplating doing something risky
So this woman who was very much a mystery
Was another poor decision in his history
