play or fold

somebody shuffled.
somebody dealt.
why did i hold
the cards i healt?

what happened to
the jokers?
the wild cards?
the smokers.
the pairs?

ohyeah,
He's the Pair.
sometime's life's
not fair.
sometimes
we have to share.

ok, got it.
play the cards
or fold.
let go of love
or hold.

so who dealt
this shit?
is this it?
wadn't me
that's for sure.
otherwise
i wouldn't be
out the door.

oh well,
play or fold.
sometime's it ain't smart
to hold.
