In a cave out West,
In a frozen ravine,
There lies a body,
Weathered and aged,
He died of cold,
And his jacket tattered,
Not like any of this really mattered.
To pass the time in his slow death,
He'd play Solitaire and conserve his breath,
He'd die happy and distracted, as anyone should,
He'd die thought to be a Hero as seldom could,
His tattered cards in his blistered hands,
Felt just like fire being made by man,
He kept on playing, ignoring his demise,
For soon he'd be playing in the endless skies,
The Ace of Spades would keep him sharp,
The Ace of Hearts would be his tarp,
The Ace of Clubs would show him his past,
The Ace of Diamonds would be his mask,
The 52 cards, keeping him alive,
Would be all that's left in this cave of time.

I was going in a different direction with this (as usual.) I've recently been addicted to Yukon Solitaire, and my parents just came back from the Yukon, so I figured I'd write a little of what I know (thanks to Jack London's Call of the Wild.)
