Friday Flash 55......


.
Well Mr. Galen, you know the rules.
Every 55 years we play a single hand of five card draw.
I win.....Your soul is MINE!
You win....Life, Omniscience, A Full Head of Hair!
But I warn you, I've NEVER lost five straight hands.
(The cards are dealt)
"Mr. Lucifer , hehehehe......I'll play these"!!!
.

I told you I was old...
Sort of Charlie Danielesque n'est ce pas?
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment......Then BOOK!!!!
So from the most Devilish Host from coast to coast....
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!!

    Ooh, that's a pretty devil but a lousy card player. Ha! You do rock the hair and soul but that ageless face mugging every Thursday does seem to have the trickster look of a man with the balls to face the devil and the brains to win.

    Charlie Daniel's sang that the Devil doesn't deal in cards, but perhaps G-Man doesn't play the fiddle. (LOL!)

    And of course, what's a good card game without something to munch on?
