It's been a while since we've had any of these, but here's one I thought
of last night:

"Play the cards!
Have a ball!
Play 'em right,
And win it all
On...Card Sharks!"

Here's one from the first show...

"Ace is High...
Duce is Low...
Call em right...
and win the dough...
On....CARD SHARKS!"

Here's one of my own...

"If you run
the cards it's neat..
cause you'll soon be living
on easy street!
Onnnn.. Card Sharks"

(Lame, I know!)

The immature 7-year old poem...
Play the cards
Take a chance
Win lots of dough
And pee your pants
Onnnnnnnnnnnnn.... CARD SHARKS!

We can't mention those poems with out the classic GSC4:

Deal the Cards,
Don't let them Foolya,
Deal them right,
And win the Moolia?
Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......CARD SHARKS!

I think that would be my favorite!! :) But for the record, don't just
limit it to 7 year olds...if I won more than $10,000 on the turn of a
card, I'd probably pee my pants too!! :)

Here's one to ponder...
Take a risk...
Take a chance...
Play a hunch,
A shot in the dark...
Play the game of CARD SHARKS!

I seem to recall a poem once

"Just imagine,
the look on your face,
when betting twelve thousand bucks lower than a king,
and the last card's an ACE!!""
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn CARD SHARKS!

One of MINE now:

"Aces and Deuces
are the cards you want to see
if you want to take home
all the big money"

"Sevens and Eights,
will make you frown,
but an Ace or a Deuce
will turn it upside down!"

"52 playing cards,
in this giant deck,
Your host is Jim Perry,
and Not Jimmy Peck"

Well, I happen to recall a good one:
"Higher, lower!
What the heck!
I like the gals
who serve the deck!"

A Five or a Jack
Is better than an eight I suppose,
But GSN BRING BACK SALE
AND LISA MUNOZ EPISODES!

The opening poem came from my stalker, SalLex, from YouTube. Now let's get to the cards!!

Really? I want to trade for the episode where the pee your pants poem appeared on!!! I think the person who sent it in was a young Drew Carey, as a matter of fact.

And why did the other person think you won the Fabulous Moolah if you won on Card Sharks? Did he watch WWWF and have a crush on her? Why????
