Franklin is a blackjack dealer and a ski instructor - a double duty.
Hogus Franklin is a busy bee,
The hardest worker, doing a double duty,
A blackjack dealer at a casino resort,
And a fine ski instructor, teaching his sport.

Hogus is friendly, helpful, and able –
He shuffles and deals and gives advice at his table.
Though players’ luck will often never arrive,
Franklin stays upbeat, and keeps hope alive!

The snowy terrain presents many obstructions,
So he teaches folks giving many instructions,
Showing skiers of all ages to master
The sheer fun and speed, and to avoid disaster…

In the end, we all face a double duty
Of not getting injured or kicked in the booty.
But Hogus gives answers and doesn’t complain,
Folks discovering both pleasure and pain...
