The joker is still grinning!

Am I seeing things?
The Queen of Hearts making out with the Jack of Spades
Are they up to no good
Or is it a measure of provocation

Mindful of the wrath of the King of Hearts
Who can readily muster the regal strength of a Royal Flush

Even the Ace of Spades
Is lurking in the shadows
Four of a kind, anyone!

Both of them have the right of possession
They have the whole pack 
to come running behind them in full support

Jack of Spades had better be careful!
Jack of Spades should anticipate

Not to talk of the hidden weapon
The King and the Aces still have the Trump Card
to fall back on
No mention of the Joker just as yet!!
The joker is still grinning!
Whoa!

  1. I think the joker is not so stupid as one makes him out to be.

  3. Jesters were often called as counsel - since they knew much of what went on in the court :) only really pretending to be fools. They had to be very smart about keeping up with politics so as not to offend whomever they were entertaining at the moment!

    A fun read about the cards, Hank.
    Hope all is well with you and yours :) ~Jules
