A lot of bad breaks like this have been handed out to casino patrons in the past. I worked in Atlantic City for over fourteen years, and I have plenty of vicarious experiences like the one you have described here so well.

And many a bet has. Quite a few poker players will fold two aces in five card stud, killer hand dealt first time round >> James

Oh this is really good Carolyn! My parents went to Vegas a lot when I was little. They only played the slots. Sometimes I saw people who really did bet more than they should have. Cool poem.

A funny write, Carolyn! Hope that this won't happen often!...The brass plate of Leichhardt's rifle with his name and the year 1848 engraved is exhibited in the National Museum of Australia at Canberra...Enjoy your day and thank you for your comments..Love, Gert

oh, boy, I just thought of something as I saw YOUR poem here and someone else's. Were we supposed to use HIGH five in our poems?? OH, man, I did not catch that all. I might as well hang it up then. I did not do it! Now I gotta go back and see his contest description again. Anyway, this one is clever, CArolyn. LUv, Andrea

Hey, you should have called me. I would have picked you up in my winged chariot and gave you a ride; even if it were raining. You didn't have to walk. This is so funny! You should have used the bicycle as a bet. Great job! Joseph
