A Game Of Cards.

On a cold stormy night in a pub

Four men decide to play a game of cards

A young lawyer, a retired banker

A politician and a beggar

---

The cards are shuffled

Then they’re dealt

The players pick them up

And arrange them to their preference

---

The game starts

The cards are played

Cautiously and carefully

Nervously and apprehensively

---

Eyes wander about

Darting left and right

Sweat forms on foreheads

But it’s not from the heat

---

While the tension rises

The suspicion mounts

Each person is ready to snap

At any given cause

---

As the game draws to an end

The tension reaches its peak

Each player puts his last card down

Not knowing if it will bring victory or cause defeat

---

The beggar’s eyes are bright

For he has won

But he is only thinking of

The meal he will be taking
