The Joker and the Queen of Spades

Pictures and memories are written in the cards,

The Joker and the Queen of Spades got together for no good,

The King of Hearts protected all the lonely hearts he could,

But there were several evil players in this deck of cards.

💟💟💟💟

The Jack of Hearts pronounced his love to all the other cards,

And never for a minute did he see the Joker’s evil twist,

The affair between the Joker and his lover, which he missed,

And he found he had no real friends left in this pack of cards.

💟💟💟💟

No other card had the kindness to talk about this love affair,

The betrayal of his Queen of Spades and the Joker hiding there,

He sat alone, all by himself, in a heightened state of despair,

He had no will to participate in Poker, Gin, or Solitaire.

💟💟💟💟

The King of Hearts gathered all the cards,

“We must stop this torrid love affair,”

“The Joker’s banned from all games, that’s what I declare,”

The Jack of Hearts will reign supreme in this pack of cards.

💟💟💟💟
