THE CARDS NOW ARE SHUFFLEDA Poem by DONALD EISSLERTHE SAGA CONTINUES AS THE CARDS ARE NO SHUFFLED
Cards now they are shuffled And the Devil cut the deck As I deal the first card A chill runs up my neck . Still I can not find Him Now I fear my fate Will my faith be strong enough Or maybe it's to late . "Hurry and deal the cards" A voice comes across to me. The eyes of a poison asp Now is the only thing I see. . Something then comes over me. Then I knew that he was near My chills seem to disappear I felt nothing now to fear. . Two cards up now dealt. The tension begins to rise Playing for my life and soul That is the final prize. . Face up for both to see Ten and jack to the devil Two aces dealt to me. . Devil shows a king and queen Same suite jack and ten. I show three aces and a king Same hand I have again. . Fifth card down I get a king The devils I do not know My blood is flowing oh so fast Like ice, the devils does not flow. . Devil he smiles at me With those aspy eyes "Something I shall offer you Might not want to pass it by." . Said “do I have a royal flush? An ace is all I need I know what card I have Will your soul be free ?" . "I will offer you this deal To see if your faith is strong If you think I have no ace Then let us play along" . "But if you have a hint of doubt As to what I have in hand Better fold your cards right now Or ill take everything I planned ."
