I've always been a gambler. Sure bets are not my thing. The game's just not worth playing if you don't risk everything. To look across the table and into someone's eyes who holds my future in their cards, gives me such a rise. Slide me over five cold cards and I'll see what I can make. If you don't watch my every move, the whole kitty I will take. I'm betting my whole heart and hoping you'll bet more. I've learned that anything worth having is always worth cheating for. So, hold your cards close to your chest and let's finish out this game. For I have a major stake in this and I'm hoping you feel the same. So, tell me what the ante is and I'll lay it on the line. And if I happen to lose this hand, I'll try again next time. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

VERY well done! i really LOVE this... great lines here... "The game's just not worth playing if you don't risk everything." truer words were never spoken... this was certainly no challenge for you, my friend!  ~ all you can really ever expect out of life is a good apology and some decent poetry ~ |

You played the cards close to heart, met the stake and well and truly won. Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Local Rebel -- A compliment from the dealer of the challenge is a compliment indeed! Thanks a bunch! And yes, it is a fine state to be in! Mark -- Well, let's just say I know my way around a deck. Thanks for reading! Kethry -- Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. Marge -- You know I love when you respond. I couldn't pass up a chance to play this one. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |
