All Hands on Deck
I never win at card games, and
Forget the rules, but heck,
Despite my losing hand,
At least I play with a full deck.

Re: All Hands on Deck
I never play with a full deck
It's true, I never do, sir
But if I did I'd get in heck
Because my game is euchre

Credit This
I use an EftPos card most times
But also pack a Visa
With insufficient backing
To buy the Mona Lisa.

Security Card
A card that guards securely
A security card might be
A guard that can secure cards:
A security guard, nightly
Troubadour
Security Card Again
A body guard, one might suppose
Is a personal guardian
But protection from all elements?
Just give me a cardigan

Cardigan
Don't cheat against this bard again,
I know the deck's been stacked.
I saw an extra card again;
Please take your extras back!

Cardigan and Chips
As the poker-player said to the dealer,
Just after he'd first met 'er
"I didn't like dat card you dealt me
And I don't like discard any better"

Magic Trick
Pick a card...any card..
I can see we have a bard..
What shall be the just reward?
Visa? MasterCard?
Queen of Spades..to look toward?
Or..maybe a deuce..to look backward..
Unless you are flexible..not too hard..
Unless you are musical..no ritard...
Pick a card..let your choice be clear..
..cause I can make it disappear..
Just like this silly verse..

Re: Magic Trick
'Tis I who have the power
To make verse disappear
Right off this messageboard
But your's will stay, m'dear!

You See My Hand
All my cards are laying on the table
You see my hand, now will you reach to take it
You see my hand, and see the suite is hearts
Is yours a club, and will you only break it
A spade, a spade to bury the remains
Are diamonds truly now your only friend
You see my hand but can you reach for me
Or will you take the pot and let it end

More cards
If you play your cards right
You might get what you're seeking
If you put them on the table
You will not be sneaking
If the card's right up your sleeve
You will not be telling
If you're handed out your cards
That's when you'll be yelling

Golf Card
Tomorrow morn at a quarter-to-nine
I shall be at golf, if the weather is fine.
I only do it for exercise,
With electric trundler for compromise.
The only part that isn't hard
Is refraining from filling in a card.
We only play ten holes and then,
Exhausted, stagger home again,
Where our scores we can review
In recliner chair, with a nice home-brew.

Christmas Card
I send you all this Christmas card,
Wishing you are well,
And hoping that the year's been good to you.
I feel for those who found times hard,
On whom sadness befell,
And trust you'll have a happier purview.
Look forward, now, to a brighter day,
When another century starts ;
First January, twenty-o-one, I say,
Despite next year's upstarts.
Three hundred and eightysix more days
Have truly yet to come ;
Enjoy Christmas twice more, good folk,
In this millenium.
