“Clubs”
I saw the King of Clubs today.
He asked me where you are.
I told him journey to the west
where he would find you are not far.
Last night I listened to the jets
go flying overhead.
On one of those was the good King
demanding to be fed.
And might I ask where is his Queen?
Has she been left behind?
Wherever she is she is somewhere
with static in her mind.
It is said the Queen of Diamonds comes
to play her games at two.
If ever anybody told
they would see their life be through.
I saw the King of Clubs once more.
His mouth was dried with blood.
He got into a car which then left me
covered up in mud.
I watched the King's care drive away.
His kingdom would be fine.
Then I went home to ensure
the same were true of mine.
