Elusive Fifth Card
I have come so close, yet so far again.
I have an ace, king queen, and jack, but no ten.
Those royal cards are all of the same suit.
Each one of them is in spades to boot.
That fifth card to me is of no use.
It is one of the hearts, and only a deuce.
A ten of spades would look so great right now.
If only it will pop up on the screen somehow.
Yes, that card will really appear fine.
With that ten of spades, a royal flush is mine!
