Pops McGonigle


Poker Anyone?


When da Hellkat has her girlfriends over for a game of cards, dey usually try ta send me outta da room or preferable outta da house. I used ta heckle from da sidelines when dey played their game of SKAT. Dey seemed ta have landed on dis game because dey could keep up a tre way conversation widout gettin too confused about da game. Dey even had dis gizmo to pass da stockpile of cards around so dey wouldn't get confused over who was next ta draw. Well my hecklin caused some a dem ta refer to me as Sweet Antique Pops or sometimes just the initials were used. So last week I knew somethin was up because I was being eased outta da house, but den I saw someone tryin ta slip in wid a tray a poker chips. "So long, have fun bowling, Pops," dey said. I said hey, what's dis when I came back inta da udder room. Are dose poker chips, I said.
