Kingmaker's House of Cards
Stacked four-ace Judas, strong yet frail,
Right angle curse of round table;
Stacked four realm noughts of knotty grail,
Pips round Arthur's face card fable.
At holey centre of card sun dial
Stands gnomon-Merlin-Fisherking,
Four aces lean-to, strait up style,
One shadow clocking wholly ring.
Joseph, Mary, Jesus, face cards
Are pipped on poker clock dial brink;
Apostles twelve, God-dog regards,
Stack clock pips four deep, also, link.
