Charles Messina Poet Limerick

My Mamma Didn'T Raise No Fool

I played monopoly with my friend, Joe 
With his siblings...Jack, Jackie, and Jerro 
I have never been beat'n 
They all claimed I was cheat'n 
When I purchased the space that said "GO" 

I played poker and ante'd my blind 
Bet money on a good hand- to find 
I won a pocket full of cash 
Then, I bolted in a flash 
When they saw I had five-of-a-kind 

From the looks that they had on their faces 
When I X'd all the squares in wrong places 
When I played Tic-Tac-Toe 
I got three In-A-Row
'Cause I X'd all but two of the spaces
