Takes the loss of one main card
to lose stability in the deck
want to bet?

trick is in the slight of hand
trickster's slight in sick demand

Authority can shuffle their cards
advised the dealer, who dealt hard
a search for an austere kingpin
the game evens, no loss or win

until someone calls the game bluff
a card pulled from a nearby cuff
kangaroo courts are raised
corrupt circuits rebuffed
a matter of settled account
thats where right wingers mount.

trick is in the slight of hand
trickster's slight in sick demand.

Hey Martin,
  I really like this.
Got a note from Ramsy Clark's website.
Very interesting read.

Within this heart you'll find love

Froggy

Don't know about that site but the one I sent to you is growing only slowly and that's because people are too complacent or afraid of expressing their opinion, that's not your situation but the slow growth is pitiful..
