- Once, there were five, a strange group indeed,
- That made up the court of High Stakes.
- They bickered and fought, had luck and had not,
- To this day, no one yet knows their fate.
- Card Soldiers
First is the Ace, at a hurtling pace,
A man of both talent and vim,
Who holds all the cards in the court of High Stakes
Because everything's about him.
Second, the Jack, with a thunderous crack
Trounces fate in the blink of an eye!
In winnings he counts all the hearts of the court
Who will swoon every time he walks by.
Third is the King, with a barbarous swing,
Who crushes the villains of old.
Though some folk may cry “He's a villain himself!”
A poorly kept secret, all told.
Fourth is the Queen, ever dark and serene,
Whose true power lies deeper still.
Alone, she could conquer the whole of the earth…
And perhaps, in the future, she will.
Last is the Jester, the wiliest sort
Obscured and forgotten by time,
Yet always much nearer than one might expect,
Stalking, closely, behind.
