Robert Johnson Poet Limerick

A Dollar Will Do

You can not win if you do not play.
Is what the gambler will always say.
One in a million.
A dollar will do.
To win it would be quite a coup.

For Susan Burch's limerick contest.

Andrea Dietrich January 10, 2012 at 10:16 PM Not sure but I think it's spelled Coup?? And it certainly WOULD be a coup!!
