Jack Of All Trades

entry picture

Shuffle the deck and split into two
Pull out a card, any old card will do

Look at the card but don't let me see
I know this card has the same face as me

The Jack of spades, not a King or Queen
No ace high, low or number in between

No ace to play, never number one
I'm the Jack of all trades, master of none

Deal me in
felt a slap
your hard hand
when playing snap.
