This is a cute and funny limerick about card games. This is the first time I've ever heard of someone playing "Strip Gin". I'm curious, do you think anyone else will write about card games and showing skin? Good luck in the contest.

Well, call me a pervert, Victor, but I'd play Strip Go-Fish if that was the only card game my husband knew!! I am THAT kind of accommodating!
As far as what others will submit with the contest entries, I'm eager to read them!!! Limericks are supposed to be kind of risqué. (see Pervert reference, first paragraph...)
Thanks for this delightful review!

I have no problem with risqué limericks. And in my opinion, you would be a woman that the vast majority of men would desire. Best wishes.

Please be my agent, Victor...

Yes, I could be your agent. However I fear that you would not be compensated to the degree that you deserve. Best wishes.

Cute strip poker game limerick posting/entry. Your rhyme scheme of aabba is good! I like cleo85 and I think I used the same illustration or someone else did for their entry.
Apparently, Bobby's knees are not an issue. LOL
IMHO my small nitpicks don't affect my overall sense/review of your five liner:
need to capitalize 'gin'?
after the semi colon, you capitalize "it's"
it is your poetic style to capitalize 'and'
For me, these short verses work fine without unnecessary capitalization

I always appreciate the nits. Please always feel comfortable doing so. I chose to capitalize Gin because that differentiates it from the drink. I don't know if that's correct or not. So I'll check it and change accordingly, if need be. Thank you for that.
And thanks, too, for the terrific review. (You're right, the knees are NOT an issue!!)
Comment from Willie P. Smith
Excellent and funny little poem. Really enjoyable to read. I am a card player also, but I have never seen or shown skin. That would make all the other players stop playing. My favorite is "Texas Hold-um". Good job with this post.

Yeah, showing skin with THAT game gives me a very different visual...Thanks for your fun review, Willie.

Comment from dragonpoet
This is a fitting entry to the contest. It should do well. It always is more interesting when you add the stripping aspect to the game. It does make everyone winners.
Good luck. Keep writing

Nicely done. If a limerick is the point, then you have produced one -- one that might even be memorable plus you have made it fun.
Thanks

Comment from Earl Corp
Strip Gin Rummy? that would have been interesting in high school. Interestingly enough your picture shows a winning Black Jack hand. Good luck in the contest.

Yes, I just learned that from another reviewer. But it also shows the Queen of Hearts. I think you aced this review, Earl.
Comment from Coco Jane
Cute!
The rhyme and meter are perfect for a limerick.
Your photo shows black jack--consider using a good Gin hand instead.
Good luck in the contest!

You find it, Jane, and I'll use it. I honestly spent more time finding that photo than I did on the poem itself.

Here are a whole bunch.
