Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 12, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 January 1911 — A DECK OF CARDS. [ARTICLE]

A DECK OF CARDS.

A deck of cards has many hearts But never falls In love: It has, I’m told, at times, cold hands That never wear a glove: Although the deck Is often cut, Tou never hear It squeal: It ne’er complains whene’er It gets A downright shameful deal. To draw a card, a pencil you Will never need at all; A hand of cards don’t visit, though It sometimes gets a call; To hold one’s temper In a game Is very litle use. For If you pick a two-spot up. You're sure to raise the deuce. —Smart Set.
