The Game of Life as a Card Like Humorous Poem
An anonymous verse compares life to a card game with suits as fortunes and dangers. It notes joys under hearts, wealth shifts under diamonds, war under clubs, and the final spade as time’s hand that ends all. The cadence mirrors old period prose and moral reflection.
