Hands of Holding

I've seen many smiles melt
girls and guys flourishing and wilted
she can bark just as easy as he
and all hands can be removed
then cheaters aren't always caught
anyone can take a backdoor as bought
so many play it straight
it's those honest high rollers I love the most
I am the Queen of diamonds

I've seen many cheers
given gulps and turns on ears
he can squeal with excitement like a little girl
she can grunt “Oh yeah!” just as a boss
anyone can give up and fold on a low pair
so many ride things out
it's those heavenly splendors I love the most
I am the Queen of hearts
