Coming Out

These two dice are now out to you.
And in case you don't know what to do,
you win with a seven
you win with eleven, 
but you don't want a twelve, three, or two.


Composed extemporaneously while working the stick position at a craps table in 
Atlantic City years ago.

You're really great with limericks, Robert. It's funny how this one just came to you. Limericks often do. Had a great laugh, my friend. Love, Carolyn
