Well, I don't know anything about card playing, but I'm familiar with the song. Now I'll probably be humming it the rest of the day, LOL. This was a fun-to-read poem. I loved the image you chose to go with it. Regards, Lilly

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. I enjoyed reading and honestly feel guilty for smiling as I read. It makes one wonder about Lady Luck.

I know nothing about gambling with cards and it seems you are well versed on the subject. I know that we have to know when to quit as timing is everything, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Earl, it's so good to hear from you again.
I like this poem--some of it quite a shock, yet it's witty and straightforward.
Excellent entry.
Good luck with all your writing,
Blessings,
Cindy

Lucky Ed! He got this great epitaph! I keep trying to imagine playing a fifth ace! I've heard of a four-flusher (is that the right expression?). This should go on a tombstone somewhere outside of Tombstone! Thanks!

Good luck wishes regarding the Another Witty Epitath writing contest, Earl. I really loved the picture, anytime it involves gambling usually means trouble with a capital T. Especially with an extra Ace. Great job, very well done, immensely enjoyed.

This witty epitaph, You Got to Know When to Fold'em, covers the bets for Ed who laid down a fifth ace in a place where that is a disgrace, so you get shot in the face.

Ooops. Yup. If you're gonna cheat, cheat "real!"

Poor old not so Lucky" Ed!

Well...at least now he's keeping the worms fed!

I got a good chuckle out of this!
