Deal 'em Up

The Deck is Stacked



Crazy Eights

'twas always the same
 Eight of Spades, Eight of Clubs
Would her luck ever change

Diamonds and sweet hearts
Never seemed to fall her way
That deck must be stacked

Shuffle them one more time
One half of a pair is the goal
Tonight she needs the 'house edge'

    how did you ever find that picture...is that another one that you played with? and are those your legs? smiles....

    the deck it seems is stacked at times...we often make our own luck more than waiting on it to change...half a pair is her aim...smiles...nice...
