“Our son has a terrible vice;
He’s a gambler and not very nice.
When we tell him to stop,
He says, ‘Mother and Pop,
All my cards on the table: No dice!'”
(December 4 is “National Dice Day.”)

Something tells me that writing this post amounts to begging for more spam. If so, I’ll just have to post some extra spam haiku.
But getting back to today’s joker of a topic, last year, when my husband Mark and I vacationed in Las Vegas, Mark gambled away twenty bucks — tops, and I didn’t gamble at all. Okay, I did get on a plane, but other than that…
And that brings me to today’s limerick:
Me Gamble? No Dice!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
You should never play cards on a lark
With a Vegas-style card-wielding shark.
Whether blackjack or poker,
Don’t deal with a joker
And gamble at being a mark.
UPDATE: Happy National Dice Day, December 4th!
