OK Have I got a doozy for you
This morning on New York's annoying news radio station 1010 WINS I was surprised to hear a commercial that began "Hi this is Wink Martindale"

OK I now see from a Wiki that he
"is perhaps best known as a game show host"
Not being a great follower of US game shows I never knew that. So my mind immediately recalled:-
"His rendition of the song "Deck Of Cards" went to #7 on the Billboard charts and sold over a million copies in 1959."
I suspect therefore that he qualifies as a one-hit-wonder.unless Walter knows differently??
I will never forget those immortal lines:-
You see Sir, when I look at the Ace, it reminds me that there
is but one God.
And the Deuce reminds me that the Bible is divided into two parts, the Old and the New Testaments.
When I see the Trey, I think of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost
"And when I see the Four, I think of the four Evangelists who preached the Gospel; there was Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
And when I see the Five, it reminds me of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps; there were ten of them: five were
wise and were saved, five were foolish and were shut out.
When I see the Six, it reminds me that in six days, God made this great heaven and earth.
When I see the Seven, it reminds me that on the seventh day, God rested from His great work.
And when I see the Eight, I think of the eight righteous persons God saved when He destroyed this earth; there was
Noah, his wife, their sons and their wives.
And when I see the Nine, I think of the lepers our Savior cleansed, and nine out of the ten didn't even thank Him.
When I see the Ten, I think of the Ten Commandments God handed down to Moses on a table of stone
When I see the King, it reminds me that there is but one King of Heaven, God Almighty.
And when I see the Queen, I think of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is Queen of Heaven.
And the Jack or Knave is the Devil......
So you see, Sir, my pack of cards serves me as a Bible, an Almanac and a Prayer Book."
sorry to get "religious" on you
Not bad for a confirmed agnostic
It won't happen again,Promise.
So din't send me to Coventry or ignore me please

I can get three to appear but as you can see the third won't nor do I know how to get 2,3 and 4 all together in the same line as they appear on Wink's site.I was thinking that since you previously got 4 on a line could you try with these three please?? Over to you
