Dizzied players slam cards like a wizard

Unwinding the piles on the menu;

Tackling the stacks gets noisy a bit,

Crazy and quite catastrophic -

Hopefully mom won't get peevish.

Buckled in chairs, their hands go numb,

Lungs panting nervously over a stackful;

Injuries soon forgotten, like prickly cacti,

Thick deck of cards shrinks extinct -

Zipping through until someone screams, "blitz"!
