A Pair Of Jokers

A Pair Of Jokers

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)
"

Two senryus, a deck full of meanings.

"

 

Deal me the aces

I can take the high road or

Serve up a low blow.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

Accepting the face value

When the game is on the line

Is a royal gaffe.

1 - very imaginative way to use metaphor to refer to the highs & lows of something. It took me a minute to remember that aces can go high or low (since I don't play cards). 2 - this part is very thought-provoking and I love how it applies to life in general (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you very much Margie.
I'll leave the cards with you. It needs someone who knows what they're doing. You know what you are doing with senryus though. Clever.
