In a Game of Spades

In a game of spades

I’m bold, black, and beautifully designed

There are only two things on my mind

The big joker and his little brother

Outside of these, there is no other

Once they’re gone

I can take my place

I’ll win the book

Because I’m the Ace

I suspect the "little brother" is the deuce, Adrienne -- another wild card like the joker. Enjoyed your poem. Congratulations on your win in Paula's contest! Love, Carolyn
