Poker

by carolynholm

Dear Puffin,
Why am I finding playing cards all over the floor?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
C’est le business between Monsieur and myself.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
That sounds a bit secretive. What are you up to, Sweetie?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Up to? What is this up?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Okay, now I know something is going on.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Je suis un petit innocent cat. Madame is mistakenly suspicious.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Nevertheless I still want to know what’s up with the playing cards. It’s a bit of a mess.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
If Madame insists, I am learning le Poker.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Seriously? You are learning to play Poker?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Monsieur says I have le Poker Face.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
So, you are playing Poker with Monsieur?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Poker, she is played with someone?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Sweetie, do you even know what Poker is? 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Bien sûr, it’s something to do with cards like these.
Regards, M. Le Poufin 

Dear Puffin,
It’s a card game that Monsieur likes to play. You’ve watched him play it on his phone.
Love, Carolyn  

Cher Madame,
Oui, c’est ça. I play that game.
Regards, M. Le Poufin 

Dear Puffin,
No, you’re not, you are just shuffling cards about.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Monsieur says I have le Poker Face. So, le voilà, what I am doing must be Poker.
Regards, M. Le Poufin 

Dear Puffin,
Monsieur is just commenting that you have an inscrutable face. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
C’est very confusing.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You can stop shuffling the cards now. We’ll go see about your dinner.
Love, Carolyn
