Craps Senryu String
So we’re coming out?
Here’s my bet on the pass line.
I’m going to shoot?
That’s just fine with me!
Luck be a lady tonight!
Let me come out right!
I need a seven
I could use an eleven
Either one is good.
Okay, here we go!
Baby needs a pair of shoes!
Seven-eleven!
What do we have here?
Three and a four makes seven
Oh, Hallelujah!
Baby, let it ride
Seven-eleven we want!
Here we go again!
Oh, so we have nine
That was a centerfield roll!
Let’s try to make it.
We will need some odds.
Ten times odds at this table?
One hundred behind.
Fifty-four across
We can use a nice long roll!
Baby, please be nice!
We must get them hot
Get winners for all we’ve got
Here we go again.
A nine will be fine
How did Jesse James get shot?
With a forty-five!
Tell me what it is
Another seven so soon?
It’s all down the drain!
Forget it today
Luck has been a bad lady
It’s time we go home!
