Ode to the Shuffle
 
Ode to the Shuffle Alliance
With our suits
the per= sonalities that we carry,
our roy=
al crests,
We bind together as brothers in blood.<=
/o:p>
As gods, we sore across the lands that which=
 we govern
giving lig=
ht,
darkness and=
 laughs to our fellow brothers.
From the King of Hearts
to the=
 Queen of Spade
from the=
 Jack of Diamonds
to the=
 Ace of Clubs
to the=
 lonely Black Joker
we sta=
nd firm and strong together.
Nothing in this universe can break
the sac=
red bond that which we carry.
As I sit here remembering the good and the b=
ad,
we hol=
d and value something of great importance
kept tog=
ether through our crests and much more,
friendship.
But rest assured I view the shuffle in a dif=
ferent
manner
The Shuffle Alliance, our crests, is much more than=
 a
bond bet=
ween friends
It is what makes us trust each other; we are=
 more than
just fri=
ends,
We are family.
