i recently visited a kingdom
built entirely of houses of cards
with the persnickity queen of clubs
perched high on her rickety throne
the poor old sodden king of spades
lay drunk and passed out neath the table
while the slick sly knave of diamonds
was all jacked up to make his play
the joker wasn't laughing much
the queen didn't think he was funny
the churchmouse was there
all a-twitch and a-twitter
nose deep in some scripture or other
no sign of the ace of hearts and her crew
the place seemed decidedly short-suited
....more to come....
