The Jokers
Two of a kind.
A double in a deck of brightly colored cards.
The jokers.
Not really needed in the deck.
But lucky.
They're wild.
They're special.
They add luck to the unmatched hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades.
Everyone loves the jokers -
The Kings,
The Queens.
They are the jesters in the royal courts.
They make you laugh when you win -
Cry when you lose.
But, they always return to the deck once the game is over.
So, take your belled cap and pointed shoes.
Play another hand and give those card players luck, Mr. Joker.
I'll try the next round alone.
Background: Early love was hard to understand when the object of my affections wanted no ties or commitments. Then again, looking back... neither did I. I just didn't know it then.
