they land
From the secret pocket
Of a pilot,
A deck of withered cards comes from the front pocket.
The cat asks if you he that the "suicide king" in the deck
Was the sane one.
You say,
I had no opinion one way or the other ..
I just know him for what he
Is and that's good enough for me right now.
Well .. the man says,
What do ya say to a game of 5 card stud to make you
Change your mind.
Sure .. the passenger says
As the sun begins rising over Oklahoma.
The man with the deck begins dealing the cards.
They play.
The young man with no opinion wins as
The pilot announces that the plane is going to have to make
An emergency landing.
At this .. The man with the deck and confidence in the King
Smiles a short, confident grin.
The young man unbuckles his seat belt and
Winks back at the card trick
Knowing everything is Ok and only getting better
As they land.
