Wayward angel trumps a devil, <br />Demon trumps a saint, <br />A full house of crazy royals; <br />Regal trumps of fate. <br /> <br />Crazy joker trumps their faces, <br />Bullets trump the game; <br />Police trump the jolly players- <br />Jail will trump their fame. <br /> <br />Death will always trump the living; <br />Living trumps a corpse- <br />And living long just trumps all reason- <br />Dust trumps all, of course.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gamble-13/
