Redeem A Royal Flush



Paint the town a golden glow. Tint a visage blush.
Give someone a Cupid's bow. Redeem a royal flush.

Paint the town a sugar beet. Tint a fervor red.
Give someone a trick-or-treat. Redeem a flower head.

Paint the town a spicy brown. Tint a pepper black.
Give someone a triple crown. Redeem a jumping jack.

Paint the town a kelly green. Tint an envy jade.
Give someone a time machine. Redeem a masquerade.

Paint the town a clover pink. Tint a purple scale.
Give someone a missing link. Redeem a coffin nail.

Paint the town a baby blue. Tint a glitter gold.
Give someone a witch's brew. Redeem a centerfold.
