Suit Of Hearts

 

 

 

In my Ace of Hearts, I know what's right and wrong.
Yet I'll still play my Joker Card face up, not down.
My Queen is too humble, my King too proud.
And my numbers are limited to what I can risk to play, it's live or drown.
1 is too few, 10 is too much,
5 is the middle, it may be your luck.
2 is a gain and 9 is a loss.
3 may be helpful and 8 could be a cost.
4 is lost and 7 is golden.
6 is your best bet, a number to be chosen.
The river runs rampant, the chances are small.
It's rapids are dangerous, but you must give it your all.
The trick is not in the cards, but in your hand.
You choose your fate in this carded land.
The odds are against you, you rely on chance.
You play your cards, on the table they stand.
A losing streak, a subtle win?
You fold, only to start again.
