a game of cards

You draw a card
And what turns up
Is the king of spades

Outside the window
It rains tennis balls
Horses hold umbrellas

On the candle flame
You see that name
A shadow on the wall

The jack of spades
Hunts down soap bubbles
Many rainbows die

Outside the dogs bark
Looking at moving clouds
But the rain is dark

Before you know
The seasons change
Leaves fall from clocks

You draw a card
And what turns up
Is the queen of hearts

Then the count down
From ten to one
In between, six and seven

What is born now
Is a purple flower
A lightning and thunder

You draw a card
And what turns up
Is the seven of hearts
