Poem Title:
Poem
There once was a place that was very entertaining That used chance as a form of gaming Inside the hall that was run by a deck of cards There were rings featuring talent who wanted to be stars On these ring’s perimeter the hearts and diamonds looked for clubs Filled with spades flirting with the jewels needing a little love If everything is dealt in their way Giving the tables a colorful display Staying in health the lady danced with herself Watching the cards hit the Black Jack felt A King followed by a Queen were the player’s draw Showing promise not a hand that would be a flaw Seconds passed the next card came And the two gamblers had no one to blame When the King was joined by an ace Player one had a smile on his face To accompany the Queen the Jack Made player two settle back First player denied the option for another card Before signaling the cocktail waitress working the bar Choosing ‘no’ player two did say Waiting for his moment to get the pay The player calculated right When the dealer showed sixteen in this one on one fight As the top card on the deck was revealed Player two started to squeal “It’s a five and my two pictures took a dive.” When the attractive cocktail server emerged Player two was ready to purge “Can I get you something?” She asked with a smile. “Something straight up, I am going to be here awhile,” Player two replied returning to his seat encountering the luring aroma that was ever so sweet.
