In the past I never counted cards
But I did have a feel for when
A certain card would appear.
My card-counting partner
Would nod his head in approval,
But I’m retired now
And no longer play --
Until recently. My hand
Is spread out before me.
I’m pretty sure my partner
Isn’t counting her’s
And may not even care
That we are losing.
She seems impatient
To be done, and I can’t
Blame her. I look again
At my cards and hope, but
There is nothing I can play
To change a thing.
She smiles contentedly
As I send up a silent prayer.
