A ****** plays blackjack
In Reno, Nevada.
Coins in her pocket,
Antes up with a rack.

The House shuffles cards,
An ace cuts the deck.
She smells like a Queen,
A Joker in black.

She shows him her hand,
He peaks at her 10s.
House holds the King,
He tells her to stand.

The Aces, the Jacks,
The Kings fall for her.
She says she's a dancer,
The night is a blur.

Next it's a 5 and a 6,
He says "double down."
The House holds a 7,
He waits for a crown.

Her lips, they say "hit me,"
Her eyes, they say stare.
He waves out his hand,
His gold ring, it is there.

— The End —
