Top Card

There's many cards that folks attest
are candidates to be the best.

For Gamblers a saving grace
is suddenly to draw an ace
Paired with a 10 or face you'd stand
as its the perfect Blackjack hand.

A platinum card is good for work
and gives its user lots of perks

For Pokemon a favored card
can often be a Charizard.

A blue-eyed dragon is quite cool
It helps a player win a duel.

A few Sports fans would recommend
that Baseball cards could your friend.
A Mickey Mantle card they'd pitch
is sure to make you filthy rich.

But the top card is overlooked...
It's one that helps you borrow books
and best of all as you can see,
the books you get are all for free.

With just one card you're bound to find
A trove of treasures for your mind.
Some sci-fi or a romance tale...
The options here are off the scale.
Adventures of all types and sorts...
All other cards will come up short!!
