I shuffled the cards
dealt them face up on the table
I thought I'd removed the joker
But guess i wasn't able

I sat so you'd see who all
the players were
But it was my turn to play
You returned to her

It was a stacked deck
That was plain to see
I tried for an inside straight
I didn't want a three

I looked at the cards
It was time to fold
There was no way i could win this hand
I didn't need to be told

I counted my chips
and placed my final bet
Should I stick around
I hadn't lost yet

The lady sat there a smile
on her pretty face
I topped with a king high
I was back in first place
