A Pecos Rose: The Gambler's Bet

A Pecos Rose: The Gamblers bet

The Gambler held a row of Aces
looking across the table at frill and laces.
Lady Lilley held a full house
but that changed when she touched her blouse.

Each player glancing with glancing eyes
cards discarded then another to rise.
Lady Lilley placed her bet then posed
grining with wickedness, A Pecos Rose.

"What may I gamble to continue our game?"
The Gambler said casual, his pockets drained.
"Your suit looks nice and they I will wager,"
Lady Lilley said looking at the stranger.

The Gambler tilted back his hat
looked across from where he sat.
"Just my suit or all my clothes?"
"All," said smiling was A Pecos Rose.

The Gambler looked back at his cards
looked at Lady Lilley long and hard.
"Okay," he said as he layed them down
so did Lilley and they all gathered around.

Lady Lilley had a Royal Flush
the Gambler didn't say to much.
"Where do you want my clothes?"
The Gambler asked as his redness showed.

"Upstairs," was all she said.
The Gamblers face was fully red.
Up the stairs he started to go,
following was A Pecos Rose.
