MALLORIE

Mallorie had the darndest luck
Playing farkle with her friends
The dice were always stuck
On twos and fours and tens

Once she threw a perfect straight
But she threw and farkled once again
She was in such a nervous state
When the game was about to end

The dice were hot for Jill and Jen
Ten thousand was their final score
Mallorie’s luck held true to the end
She swore she would play no more

Mallorie has given up the farkle game
She plays Canasta on Friday nights
No more farkle, thank you, just the same
She threw the last farkle with those dice
