A Life, in cards
I wonder how I didn't write about it first
After all it's my bread and butter, Its in my blood
Its a myth that playing cards is a sin
Or is accompanied with vodka or gin
No no no !!! It is a beautiful gift
Teaching you, with time a card could be small or big
For the king of hearts, did you ever greave?
As the sword gives his neck a slit
No heroic or tragic tale to percieve
Lazy imitators is what historians believe
A good game of bridge, is no less than chess
All i am trying to say is, "the art of war " was always in this old dress
We look at cards only for fun, but a strategy it doesn't teach, I know of none
Deception of the highest order
Or the concept of Probability
Basic really in games like poker and rummy
Cricket's 20-20 vs teen patti
competition as fierce as it could be
Never giving up, fight to the T
Excitement and a rush of adrenaline
The first you just watch on TV, passively
The cards are dealt and you are in the hot seat
It's like you have the bat and here comes the ball
Will it go for a six after all ??
Don't rush here, no need to play fast
But remember, Always have the Trump card saved for the last !!!
Learn quickly to catch people's bluff
For when the stakes are high, it can get really rough
hold close together all your emotions
Look out for opportunities in the commotions
Remember the cards, others hold by name
for a small negligence can cost you the game
Is it only gambling or a game in the club?
It's more of families and friends playing where their shoulders rub
You will rejuvenate and come out stress free
That's how helpful playing cards could be
Patience and focus are a dying virtue
A castle of cards, made by your kid
Can teach them its true value
From kids putting random number cards on the run
To finding elderly playing to just while away
Cards are the quiet companions
That stay and bring a smile anyway
This has been really easy for me to write
As I didn't have to look around for ideas bright
Glimpses from the past kept coming out of the blue
That's when I realised cards make memories
And may be, that's all, that they do
P.S. if you like the above, buy one and start playing,
You will meet notorious innocent cheaters in adults
And over competitive kids
Start making memories 🙂
