Ace in the Hole by Dale Clark Wednesday, May 04, 2005 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
Ace in the Hole that ace hiding in the hole has the hots for the queen of hearts on her thorny throne the jack of diamonds shines his grin winking that one eye watching for a five and dime the joker fell in the well and got laughs all around the king of spades took bets on whether he would drown and then dueces went wild the roulette wheel tumbles the dice say seven come eleven then you draw a big zero nothing, nada so it's fold em up save the ace for a rainy day pulling off the poker face the jack of hearts fell in love Love is a game of chance just like the gambler says "read em and weep" � CJ Clark
