A deck of cards in gypsy’s hand <br />Made someone’s hair stand on end. <br />“Big fortune you will lose today” <br />The gypsy said. <br /> <br />Dazzled by the gypsy’s dark flirtatious eyes <br />The man failed to notice <br />How his wallet left his pocket, <br />And became the gypsy’s prize. <br /> <br />Be cautious of the hands that hold your cards <br />Beware of how far those hands will roll your dice <br />For the world is full of heartless puppeteers, <br />Hands with suspicious tricks, <br />And mouths with clever lies.<br /><br />Irene Bitter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-deck-of-cards/
