Poem
Well, I’m back again! Treat me better than before. I need some winners. I remember you. The last time I was down here You were not too nice! You let me win now! Lady luck’s been a bad girl. I hope you’ll change that! Here is my money. Please let me have some good cards. I’m not quite even. I’m starting out small. I’m doing this for good luck. I sure could use some! So here come the cards. You give me a jack and nine That is not too bad. So I have nineteen. And you have a ten showing. I think I’ll stand pat. So what’s underneath? I have to see that hole card. Sixteen and a bust! It’s another ten! Both of them give you twenty. You beat me by one! Well, no more of that! This time I’ll double my bet. Won’t you let me win? And it’s two aces! I’m going to split that pair. Give me two tens please! An eight and a nine. I have nineteen and twenty. Your up card’s a six! A ten’s underneath. Those cards give you a sixteen. One more for a bust! You gave yourself five. It’s another twenty-one. You beat both my hands! This is the last time! If I don’t win, I’m leaving! Here’s another bet. A seven and four. So you gave me eleven! I will double down. Now you have it all. That’s the last of my money. I need a big card. And you give me nine! I hope a twenty’s enough. Will you bust your hand? What’s under your four? Your hole card is a seven. You have eleven. Five gives you sixteen Won’t you bust with your next card? You’re going over. What? Another five? Your twenty-one beats my hand. That is it! Good-bye!
