Big Bet at an Old-Timers' Card Game
The morning paper says
Debbie Reynolds is 82.
Sixty years ago, the little doll
married Eddie Fisher,
balladeer back in our time.
Remember, Eddie dumped Debbie
and married Liz Taylor who
put the oomph in technicolor.
Then Liz dumped Eddie
and married Michael Todd,
the aging movie mogul.
Todd died in a plane crash
and Fisher's dead now, too.
So's the beautiful Ms. Taylor.
Tell me this before you deal again:
When Debbie gets her obit
which of us, and I'll take bets,
will be around to read it.
