Ragpunzel

She felt a taste of heaven
When she won with three seven
And again when jack deuce cracked king queen
She would frequently suck
Out with beginner's luck
And the things people said were quite mean

She played lots, she played fast
But the luck wouldn't last
Lost her winnings and quite a lot more
So the girl wouldn't get
Into even more debt
Her mom locked her on the tenth floor

Of a tower the family happened to own
For reasons that likely will never be known
It was drafty and old and the cold floors were hard
And no one could visit with money or cards

In fact, nobody could come in at all
No entrance, just exit, a quick fatal fall
Her food was passed through a hole in the wall
Of course no phone service so the cops weren't called

But as the weeks passed, the economy sputtered
And her father's business essentially guttered
It was practically bankrupt and ripe for disposal
But the creditors made an eccentric proposal

Her family had a chance - give up everything to repo
Or play a game for a chance to get out of the deep hole
Whether lose or fail to try the result would be the same
The problem was the option was to play a poker game

The thing about this game is it would not be normal poker
While it would be hold 'em with no wild cards or jokers
The difference was winning with bad cards in the pocket
Would be rewarded more than taking down a hand with rockets

In place was a system in which the more atrocious
The starting cards held, the bigger the bonus
So the quickest way to start kicking caboose
Was the five times pot bonus for off suit seven deuce

Husband and wife huddled up to commiserate
And reluctantly let their daughter participate
Her donkey calls helped Ragpunzel save her family
And she could stay down as long as she just played poker for free

Risks, Rewards, & Information

When I play cards odds are I'm conservative
I'd like to think my bankroll deserves to live
When you're broke like me well it hurts to give
but some prefer an exciting alternative

When poker's concerned, nothing gets the heart racing
Like a game where there's little to be gained from ace king
Where each hand's win or lose, not much patience or pacing
Just a lot to be won when your hand is a great thing

Flushes and full houses can make you feel fine
But less so when expected to give tips and dine
To have all the thrill but not make wallets whine
The best plan's to play video poker online

Sometimes, though, you might search for diversity
Might not be as much fun to remain immersed in the
Same game all day - there's a need for variety
I can be helpful - at least I can try to be

I can tell you that finding the best online casinos
Can feel harder than searching a dumpster for clean clothes
Unless you can find all the right information
To stay educated on the best recreation

Make sure it's all legal, try to read the fine print
Because breaking the rules can cost you a mint
But if you play it straight and play your cards right
You can have lots of fun and lots of funds in one night
