King Xero

Here’s to the king, here’s to his honour
some you don’t miss till they’re gone a way
it may have been some time since we saw his prime
but who could replace him among us?

Hail to kings who stand their ground
those aces ride to put them down.

Here’s to the queen, she walked tall anywhere
always had time for us spare
knowing all around sought to deride and demean
her demeanour didn’t care.

Hail to queens who face their foe
those kings queue up to lay them low

Here’s to the Jack he was destined to lose
too fooled by the cheers and boo’s
when he was good he was desperately good
born to burn on a short fuse

Hail to Jacks who try their luck when
all around advice is duck.

Hail to all whose stack was small but
stuck around to ace us all.
