Two Jokers

2 Jokers
in the Deck.
what the heck.
Hunt-n'-Peck.

we search
& we seek.
we look every week
in the Want Ads.
True Love?
ain't it sad?

then, Life shuffles.
Life deals.
2 Jokers in the same hand.

what's the rule?
aces, straights & flushes?
or is anything cOOL?

i mean does this hand
lead to the Promised Land?
or, am i still
stuck in the Sand?

2's & 3's
that be me?

Hell's Bell's
take The Bet!
what else would this fool do?
get what i Get.

OK! i'm game.
i ain't lame.
Never Fold.
each Hand's diffrent.
Never the Same.

Call Life's Bluff.
i got E'nuff?

after all,
i got
2 Jokers
in the same hand.
in Life
it ain't often
that's the way
The Cards Land.
