Molly's an amazing guesser,
Stakes a million, all on red.
"Want to move em?" She says yessir
Wins a pile on black instead.
Fear of Molly strikes the banker
Everybody takes her lead.
They win a stack and turn to thank 'er
Molly is the one to heed.
Molly is the best of betters,
Never known to lose control.
Throws off all statistic's fetters,
She's damn sure what she will roll.
Good old Molly made a billion,
And a man who rides a bike.
Always happy on the pillion,
Told the rest to take a hike.
Settled in a massive villa,
Raising children "prop-o-lee"
The kids have found a way to thrill 'er
Winning at Monopoly.

"thank 'er" and "Thrill 'er" with a space, and this is pretty much how it ought to be. You're a nut. Maybe your family tree is full of them, how would I know?

My family tree's a walnut
We're crackers every one
Though every one's a small nut
We have a lot of fun
My family tree's a hazel
They're cobnuts down in Kent
We're somewhat out of phasel
With other people's bent
My family tree a chestnut
Not horse the sweeter kind
Well roasted they're the best nut
And leave the rest behind
My family tree's a palm tree
We're coconuts you know
It's not a nice and calm tree
But fun to put on show!

Boffo!
Good read but not so silly. In fact, this is great fantasy material or am I the only guy who dreams of a girl like Molly?
-
I viewed this earlier
ran out of points, no points, no clappies
and this deserves clappies
this so very funny a silly with a perfect rhyme
love it....
Thank you for your entry
God bless you...

I taught Molly how to win
You look around when you begin
If no cats are at the table
then you know that you are able
Molly is a cat you see
in disguise just like me
She beats humans every time
with this great idea of mine

Good one. Lotsa fun
This poem is full of fun. It was a pleasure to read. I especially liked the cleverer rhymes such as "guesser and yessir" "banker + thank'er" "prop-o-lee + monopoly"
No doubt it took much skill to write this little ditty. Great job. Rose.

Very cute.

I would love to meet dear Molly
just to get her point of view
when it come to betting lolly
I'm uncertain what to do
Playing poker should I hold um,
is it worth another bet
am I a joker if I fold um
what's the ruling I forget
I am going off my trolley
trying hard to understand
With a little tip from Molly
I may find a winning hand
Another wonderful piece from your pen Jeff
