POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Playing Cards
At first, onesuit,
A matchingpair;
The King andQueen of Hearts.
At first, onesuit,
The land theyruled;

I’llopen the door for you kindly,
I’lllet you in front in a queue.
Youwon’t lift a finger to help me
ButI’ll bend over backwards for you.
I’llquietly let you upstage me
Andthen hold a torch up for you.
