NaPoWriMo 2017-01 -- 'In the cards' poem

April is National Poetry Month, here is my first:
(Today is also April Fools Day, I stuck in my granddaughters joke.)

.
Nonsense;
 in the cards

. . . . . . come Christmas Day
I opted for some new cards
Tarot Deck was flung my way
My favorites, Joker and
the Ace of Wands.  Bid nine Wands
Nick was good

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . that year to me
My wish came true, got the cards
But how the heck can I play
Canasta these suits are weird,
swords, batons/wands, coins and cups
Ah, give it a try

.  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . just deal
I shuffled my cards three times
Dealt from the bottom and top
No one was pleased, nary one
Then out of the blue northern
a new place,

. . . . . . . . . . . . . Garden Party
Bob Dylan was there showing
Showing off his Nobel Prize
He pulled me aside, whispered
Clowns on the right and Jokers
on the left,

. . . . . . . . . . here I am, stuck
Stuck in the middle with you
Just then the Joker went wild
Wild with his clever riddle
"If my nose keeps on growing,
what will happen?"

. . . . . . . . . .. . . . . "I duno"

"If it grows to twelve inches,
well,  ...then it will be a foot."
I'm for gettin out of here
Mr. Joker, you are king
King of Fools
