Playing Blackjack With the Devil

He lay awaiting spraying cards Beckoning with his forked tongue Come here my son lay down your guard Bet what you like it is only for fun I started with a bet so small A face arriving right at my door The second led only to reveal An ace of spades I had won my deal This seems so easy it cant be true I lay a bigger bet knowing it is due Alas there came another Jack He smiled at me as the devil played back You have won again now bet it hard You know you can beat me without any cards Ride your luck as I did against God And see where it takes so now bet hard I lay the rest of all I had Only to find the cards went bad A five of diamonds shot out loud Followed by the Queen as she did frown His card was showing a souless ace Asking for insurance I felt his embrace I declined and waited to see with praise He smiled as the card flopped over ..... a face Thank you my son for your donation Once again? He asked with quotation I told him I have nothing more He said dont lie you have your soul If you win this you will be free With all the riches and endless glee I will even show you both cards Double exposure for my disregard I agreed and bet my soul He lay both cards for the endless goal His smile turned to laughter as he knew His ace in the hole was on its way through It dropped and so did my soul I felt it pull out of my body whole I lay in his chamber with all the rest As I saw God next me in distress For even he had bet his best And lost to the one that he threw to the mess
