I sit across from you gazing into your eyes. You glance back, almost shyly, with a look I endeavor to discern. Is it invitation or rejection? Should I advance or retreat? I slowly caress the rocket in my pocket, feeling its power. "All in", I announce, as I turn up my aces!
Told you I love poker!(For those of you that are not familiar with poker slang-a pair of aces are refered to as "pocket rockets")

you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em....
good one.
Yikes! I was not aware of the poker term! I had a completely different scene pictured, which is what you intended, I'm sure. Craftily done.

YAY!!!!!
The return of Mike!!
Nice to see you back son!
Great 55, and I hope the reason for your return isn't because you lost all your money playing poker...hehehe
Thanks for playing...G
Ahhhhh....well done! I thought they were my eyes you were looking into.
I'm going to have to remember this one. I'm leaving for Vegas this afternoon with the girls...wooohoooo!!
Thanks for stopping by ;o)
Have a good wknd
thx for stopping by. that was a good 55. i'm sure there are other things called 'pocket rockets' lol but until you said something about the aces, i didn't know it was poker! lol
Ah! I'm glad you explained about the rocket - I was wondering..... ;)
Great 55!
Hi, Mike. Clever, clever! I found you through the 55ers.Mine is up. I wrote a piece called the Old Farts Club last summer about hubby and his poker players. You might get a kick out of it. We're talking OLD farts!

Mike!! You are BACK!! Yay! I have missed you.
I haven't been blogging as much as usual either, but I'm still around.
One of my friends at work is a poker fiend as well, so I get the obsession!!
See you soon. :)

Mike, I thank you for your very kind words about me at Galen's and also your good wishes. May you & your family be blessed, as be all others'.
btwn, I managed one too this week !
how odd. i did comment last week but i guess blogger was being horrid.
hope that rocket found its target ;)
Hi, Mike. I tried to leave a comment here before and it didn't seem to "take." Pretty clever! 55s are fun.

lol, great 55, Mike. I'm a fan of poker myself. :D
Thanks for clearing that up...I was wondering what I'd stumbled across for a minute there, hehe! Loved it. Thanks for commenting on my first 55, I'll have another crack at one on Friday.
Very nicely done and I am familiar with pocket rockets. Although they may be nice to have they are not the guaranteed winner. Welcome back to blogging
I believe you thousands wouldn't. Just popping by to see how your doing, 'tut tut' hope your a winner. Going to start posting again soon, mum is getting sorted now so I think I should have more time. So till then take care...
I left a comment where is it???
Hey mike new link to my blog click my name and it will bring you there.
So where's Mike got to?
I'm updating my links and planning to get my blog up to date and on a roll again. I've been very remiss this past year!
Just wondering what you're up to?
Jayne :)
