He walked into the Saloon struttin and lookin mad I knew just the kind of man he was......hard and bad A bottle of whiskey to wet his lips was what he required A game of cards to pass the time..."Any takers" he inquired Men quaked at the sound of his name from near and far Not one stepped to the challenge...fear held them to the bar Not missing a blink as I joined his company, greeted by the sideways grin Thinking my money would soon meet his jeans of second skin He dealt the cards smooth and fast with the talented hands of leather I quieted the thoughts of the mustache that would tickle like a feather Back and forth the betting went as the pot began to grow The fire in his auburn eyes with hungry greed did glow "Well little lady" he purred, as he raised the ante to where he thought I'd stop His Stetson for a kiss to melt his stone chisled heart on the spot I met him and he and threw down his house of high aces and queens blushing With a bat of lashes black I tumbled his house with royals flushing With a swig of his bottle he dared, "One more hand if you have the spine" Tipping my new hat I sang, "Ante up cowboy, next hand those jeans are mine" |

Your deal he said with a hoarse little chuckle five card stud with no draw for a second chance To get these jeans first you gotta polish my buckle and join me in a round of this gamblers dance This cowboy's been on the trail and swallowing dust riding the range in heat till he bout dropped dead So place your bet on cards knowing this cowboy's lust for after this hand you lose... you win me in your bed Nice game of cards you got goin lil lady....makes this cowboy real proud to be sittin in.  |

Great work here my friend, I loved it! My only question is how do I get into this game. "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

BDC, Great game, great poem, you really upped the ante. Be well 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."- |
