His House of Cards Fell

The Billionaire Boys Club was spurned.
On debut night, it crashed and burned.
It stars Kevin Spacey
who’s lewd, crude, and racy--
a predator, as we have learned.

What goes around DOES come around.
This adage is true, we have found.
So many are paying        
for wrong things they’re saying
and doing. The stories abound.

It’s not just the ones on the news
who’ve erred. We all have much to lose.
No matter who we are,
an unknown or big star,
We all end up paying our dues!


House of Cards--Netflix series starring Kevin Spacey

I never saw his house of cards show but I can appreciate your play on that show title!! I sure loved him in American Beauty , one of my fave movies ever, but it's too bad he turned out to be like so many other rich obnoxious men.

Hi, Carolyn. I've never watched it either but have seen him in other productions. He's a fine actor, but . . . ! Thanks so much for your comment. Janice
