Double Deck Pinochle

Do not be concerned if you don't understand this because you have not played double deck pinochle before. The politicians who are running have the same problem. If you care, you can learn more about the game and the politicians so at least you can play without looking ignorant.

Double Deck Pinochle
By Franklin Price
7/31/2015

Double deck pinocle
So many cards dealt
My mind in a quandary
I think it will melt
 
More cards in our hands
Too many to hold
Maybe more coming
If was poker I'd fold

Must follow suit
When the cards are first played
The highest one wins
When the last one is laid

When out of a suit
Avoid a kick in the rump
Start taking tricks
By playing a trump

This is my view
Of the political scene
To me a big joke
Don't like to be mean 

Don't think they are serious
Just playing a game
No clue how to play
But that's why they came
