Words For The Marseilles Tarot

[poliphilo]

Le Bateleur Life is rarely what it seems But you can trust me- in your dreams	La Papesse The mysteries my curtains hide May repay study. You decide.	L'Impératrice I've rheumatism in my knees. Make mine a large one- pretty please	L'Empereur And mine's a pint. I do not shirk from duty- but it's thirsty work.
Le Pape Kneel down, my children, listen well. And you'll escape the fires of hell	L'Amoureux Love is best and that's the truth, But which is sweeter- age or youth?	Le Chariot It takes a steady hand, you know, But-boy- can my jalopy go!	La Justice I grip my sword, my balance wavers. Sorry, but i don't do favours.
L'Hermite I'm looking for an honest man. It's been decades since I began.	La Roue de Fortune The wheel goes up, the wheel goes down. Which is the way to London town?	La Force You think it's brave to go to war? Try holding shut the lion's jaw.	Le Pendu I've lived my life and when all's said, I've known worse things than being dead.
La Mort I murder people with a scythe. Gee, it's great to be alive!	Tempérance For what we are about to receive Be thankful. that's what I believe.	Le Diable Look at me. look at my dick. Tell me, do i make you sick?	La Maison Dieu O, O, be still, my beating heart; That castle has just come apart.
L'Étoile My little bird sings, 'though we care Nothing for folk, we treat them fair.'	La Lune The world is full of grief and shit. I guess we must conform to it.	Le Soleil O, I don't know. It could be worse. I'll be doctor. You be nurse.	Le Jugement Girls and boys come out to play. Rise from your beds, it's judgement day!
Le Monde And afterwards the world will be A right good place for such as we.	Le Mat We we we we we we we Wheeeeee......

yes but why not take on
a lion your own size lady
if youre so tough?

Maybe it's a tame lion and she'll give it a nice juicy steak after it's performed its trick.

I hope so it reminds me otherwise
of those feeble demons that the
doorkeepers at buddhist temples
stomp on or some of the iconographic
representations of the dragon that
George comes winging from another
dimension to dispatch.

but seriously these are witty.

I dont think one could or would want to
do this with the OTO deck or a lot of the
other crap that is sold nowadays which is
so ugly or stupid.

Well no.

This is the tarot as it was before the occultists got hold of it and muddied the waters.

I like The Fool verse...
I like all the verses!
