Patience
The trick to a house of cards
Is to plan-out ev’ry row –
The kings and tens have far more ink,
So keep those high-ones low.
And rise on up to aces,
As we keep our breathing slow –
And pray the god of sudden draughts
Has somewhere else to go…
To think, he could have cut and dealt,
To share a hand of gin –
Instead, we’re busy propping-up
On edges far too thin.
If we can place this joker
Then we’re surely gonna win –
Just pray the god of friction
Has some stubble on his chin…
