Maverick Free Verse

Brett and Bart have been throughout the west.
They are among the best as gamblers go.
Everywhere from New Orleans to California,
they have lived on jacks, queens, kings, and aces.
They have been on riverboats and in casinos.
These two dashing men sit well with the ladies.
At poker tables, they display their skill and luck.
Although Brett and Bart always get into trouble,
they escape with their experience and sophistication.
It amazes how they usually win the pot.
They were our weekly heroes for quite a few years.
They split the scene when the network cancelled the show.
Thank goodness for reruns so we can see them today.

Hey, was this the show called MAverick? How interesting that you used that name for a contest in that same name. Very clever of you! Congrats on the win and nice seeing this one on the list today. so those two guys split the scene for good after they were cancelled? My hubbie recantly has gotten addicted to the western channel on cable.Good grief. he has that Encore channel running day and night!
