Summary: A
guy is walking, sees a nice looking young lady and gets
her talking. She obviosly has taken a liking to him and
so she settles down for a bit of a chat and pehaps a bit
of a game. Intreagued as he is he replys that he would like
to teach her a game called "the game of all fours"
and so sets about to start. It turns out that either she
has incredible beginners luck or shes played the game before
as she proceeds to whip him twice in a row. He gets up to
head off and she says that if he wants to play again then
he should come back the next day then game on.
Moral: Dont play
games with attractive women.

as i was a walking,
one midsummer's mornin'
i heard the birds whistle and the nightingale's play
and there did i spy, a beautiful maiden
as i was a walkin' along my way
Oh where are you going, my fair pretty lady
oh where are you going so early this morn?
she said i'm going down to visit my neighbour
i'm going down to warwich the place i was born
it's may i come with you my sweet pretty darlin'
may i go along in your sweet company?
then she turned her head and smiled it all at me
saying you may come with me kind sir if you please
we hadn't been walkin', but a few miles together
before this young damsel began to show free
she sat herself down, sayin' sit down beside me
and the games we shall play shall be one, two and three
i said my dear lady, if your fond of the gamin'
there's one game i know i would like you to learn
the game it is called, the game of all fours
so i took out me pack and began the first turn
|
|
she cut the cards
first, and i fell the dealin'
i dealt her the trump and meself the poor jack
she led off her ace and stole my jack from me
sayin' jack is the card i like best in your pack
since i dealt them last time, it's your turn
to shuffle
and my turn to show the best card in the pack
once more she'd the ace and the due score to beat me
once again i had lost when i laid down poor jack
so i took up me hat and i bid her good mornin'
i said your the best that i know at this game
she answered young man, if you'll come back tommorow
we'll play the game over and over and over and over again
