The Card Dealer

the cards in my hand,the lights everywhere camera's
in my eyes.
flashing lights everywhere,nervous inside don't know
what to do.
concentrate,concentrate.stay on task.
look at the dealer straight in the eye,don't let up
the dealer hits,is it an ace is it a deuce is a king a queen
a jack 
in my hand i have one of those cards.
guess which one,is it a deuce no, is it a jack no,is it a queen,
or is it king.
the 2 hit arrives.thinking nervously,trying to stay calm.
i hit 1 more,no and 3 time...and the river reviles.king
so what in my hand

guess what,a king and a ace
