Epic style poem. 3 characters. Black is the Dealer, Blue is the Cowboy, Red is The Lady
If everyone would place their bets,
I’ll deal the cards and then we’re set.
The game is Blackjack as you know
So gather ‘round to start the show.
For the Cowboy Ace of Hearts
I think that gives you quite a start.
For the Lady Three of Clubs
Sorry for that awful flub,
But as the dealer Ten of Spades
An Ace and I will have it made.

Aha! I think that I will have to stand
You’ve given me a peach of a hand!

I however find this hard,
I guess I’ll take another card!
But wait I have another Three,
So tell me what my options be.

Because you had that before a hit
All that means is you can split,
2 hands at once if you are able
but first more chips upon the table!

Your money will go fast like this
So careful what you do young miss!

I guess I’ll have to keep my guard,
But I wish to split my cards.

On the left the deed is done
An Ace is good for Eleven or One;
On the Right the Diamond Queen
A total which becomes Thirteen.
Fourteen or Four its up to you
But Thirteen on the other has to do.

Go ahead and do your worst
If I lose my heart will burst!

To the left a Six is thrust
But on the right a Nine makes bust.
Twenty or Ten, will you stay
Or would you like to continue play?

Sir, no thank you, stand I will
But after this I’ve had my fill
The Cowboy here, he plays a lot
But from now on I’ll stick to slots!

Well it’s sad to see you go
A place like this can lead to woe,
But now I show you what I’ve got
My Ace of Hearts will take your pot.
The Cowboy though he has the same,
And played a very top-notch game
He didn’t beat around the bush
And forced this Dealer to a push.

Once again I made it through
Sometimes that’s all I ever do,
Sorry miss to see you go
But I’d really like to know
If you’d let me buy you a drink?
(This was said with a country wink)

Such a fine and gentle man,
Yes indeed, a drink we can!

Well once again the chips are mine
But for that girl a bottle of wine!
A job like this is pretty cool
And soon I’ll land another fool!!
