ACE IN THE HOLE

It’s Quadrille time at dVerse
The word “ACE” is to be used
in our 44 word quadrille.

Momma didn’t trust the bank
(It failed in ‘29)
She hid her stash under the guest room rug
“That way” she said, “I know it’s mine”
Momma was always thrifty
A faithful, happy soul 
Hidden where guests slept
Was momma’s ace in the hole.

  5. Yes, my great grandparents didn't use a bank - stashed it all over the house. Thanks for the reminder.

  6. LOL! Nice. Yep, parents of the Great Depression had habits like that for sure. Mine did too.
