Completing the Suit

Was listening to “Shape of my heart” – Sting, and looked up its lyrics, part of which goes thus:

“I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war”

which I put up on my gmail status.

Surprisingly my nerd brother chose to comment on it, that too with self-composed poetry:

“I know that diamonds are the bait of a boy friend
and I know that hearts are the weapons of a lover”

Of course he claims he was only completing the suit. But still I’m impressed by the poetry from unexpected quarters… there’s hope for him yet!
