The Game

So, you want to play the game? you do know the deck, is already stacked against you? but you try anyway, you put your first dollar down. before the dollar even hits the table, you've lost. Play again sir? you've lost long before your next card, is even dealt. so, you go again this time, you put down a five. then you drop aten, a twenty, then a fifty. all the time saying, this is the hand. My lucks going to change, but it won't, nor will it ever! So, before you know it, it's you dealing out the cards. setting the deck, as you wait, you start to grin. As you see that first dollar hit the table. new player, big money, here we go sir! good luck! dealer hits 16, a 5 of spades, house wins! Play again sir? Yes, then here we go! Player bets a five, a ten.... Time and luck, you always have more of one than the other. It's never the one you need....
