Pointless, All Pointless, I tell You!

The ante is going up
is now the time to stop?

Can you stomach the pain
Is there anything to gain?

Calling, calling the bluff
You're the one to snuff
Considering you're holding all my stuff.

Playing the game,
Isn't quite the same.

You're tough
Playing rough

Going home
with nothing but the tome?

Bewhieldered eyes,
holding, casting the dice?
