Ode to a Cribbage Board
Fifteen two, Fifteen four,
Your elegance I so adore;
Fifteen six, and a pair is eight,
For a simple game you’re really great.
Fifteen two, Fifteen four,
I’ll play you once and then want more;
A double run of four for ten,
I think of how I knew you when.
Fifteen two, Fifteen four,
The board, the pegs – je suis amour!
Fifteen six and knobs is seven,
I think I’ve died and gone to heaven.
Fifteen two, Fifteen four,
I move the pegs to mark the score.
A flush for five, I’ve got the Zen;
Thirty one for two: I win again!
