The Four Ace showed their hand
Conspired to rule the pack
The King and Queen who ran the scene
Where relying on there boy jack
The rank and file from two to ten
Stood ready to Advance
But they just folded in a sack
Going down like an avalanche
Meanwhile the four Aces
Whose plan was to overthrow
Watched as unrest
Began to fester and grow
But just as they plotted
To make their fated move
The earth shook and rumbled
As if to disapprove
And from the shuffle beneath the deck
Burst out one lonely card
Born from fires of hell its self
This boy has done it hard
The others gasped in unison
As they strained to see
Just who this bastard was
Whose illegitimate son was he
His got a grotesque face
And crooked smile
With an evil laugh
He’s here to stay awhile
He’s the son of the deck
He its bastard child
Cos the deck is stacked
And now the Jokers wild

I really liked this poem. The rhythm and rhyme is well carried, and in the end it parallels the text by collapsing slightly. i think you did a very good job of incorporating card terminology into this piece for extra fun puns. There is a spelling mistake in the first stanza (there should be their I think) but other than that I think it is great. Keep it up.

This is really amazing!!!!!!! I love this poem... so funny but in a way it teaches you to play poker... my father, uncles, cousins, and I like to play poker together, but I am the worse in the group... but it is always just fun and games right???????
!!!!!!!
But anyways... back to this piece of art... I like the imagry (sorry about spelling if it is wrong)... and I love the way you described everything to amazing detail... it works for this poem!!!!!!! What some people would write as a stanza or two, you wrote out into this great poem... I love it!!!!!!!
Rock On!!!!!!!

But just as they plotted
To make their fated move
The earth shook and rumbled
As if to disapprove
