A SHUFFLE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THERE WAS A RUMPUS IN THE PACK
Last Line: OF DIAMONDS AND HEARTS.
Subject(s): CARD GAMES; PLAYING CARDS;
There was a rumpus in the Pack,
Whereof the King and Queen and Jack
Were playing knavish parts.
On Club and Spade was put the blame;
But these asserted 'twas a game
Of Diamonds and Hearts.
