Jacks or Better
OK, jacks or better, right?
Guess I'll open for ten.
Ah, my worthy opponent thinks he can handle that,
Raises the stakes.
Fine.
I can beat that without turning a hair.
I'll throw in one conversation without any lies.
Still in?
Oh, so you're going to raise me
One free gift certificate for "The TV Remote, Any Time You Want It."
Is that the best you can do?
Hmph. Not worth much.
But I've got the funds to cover it, nevet fear.
As a matter of fact, not only can I match it,
But I'll raise your cheapskate frightened little effort
A lifetime, and
One heart.
Oh, I see.
You can't cover that.
And you don't want to mortgage your soul?
Fine.
I fold.
You lose.
