The stakes were high The chips were stacked And Marmaduke Had Lassie’s back The other two Were dense you see They thought Bernard Was just lucky When Bernie laid The hand he played Marm and Lass Were not dismayed They picked him up And shook him down And what you know Fell to the ground? In the barrel On Bernie’s neck Stashed some aces From cheaters deck! Marm and Lassie Shared the winnings And that’s the story Of their beginnings!

LOL, that picture is so popular. It hangs on the wall of a local saloon here, The Howling Dawg. Mike would have loved it! We're having a memorial service this Saturday for the owner of the Dawg. I wrote a poem for him, "The Howling Dogs are Silent Now" and would also like to print this one out for his friends. OK by you? |

Take a cleaver To the retriever! The collie is a cheat! The pug-nose pup Has aces up The cushions of his seat! The terrier's A cheatin' cur It really is a shame. Don't ever let A marmoset Control a poker game!!! |

Like it I think i've seen a few pubs with this picture and it don't feel like a good pub without it. I like this one. I breathe the dust, the dust is me. |
