The Men in the Game

A variant, of course, on one of the better commercials of my time:

"PK"

Before Mr. Brunson taught the world to play
Before watching Rounders,
Before the skins broke away;
Before the word "jopke" was spelled with "PK;"
And bar-rooms were cardrooms where the Emptyseats played...
Before all the hype and before Hellmuth's flaunt,
After the chip but before the donk...
Before Moneymaker even had fame
Before new and old school,
Before school had a name...
There was only the cards
And the men in the games.
