Oh, they put a value on me,
as soon as they cast me in clay,
moulded over a small metal plate,
and painted me in blue with white.
Oh, they put a value on me,
when they placed me,
with fellow valued beings
who looked almost identical.
Oh, they put a value on me,
placing me on green felt
and passed me over to him
who could afford my value.
Oh, they put a value on me,
as they thought of a good tactic
to pass me through to
my fellows,
who’d been passed on by others.
Oh, they put a value on me,
as they took my support
to gather my fellows on the basis
of mental skills, bluffing!
Oh, they put a value on me,
without realising I am more valuable,
than the value they wrote on me,
considering me to be merely
A Poker Chip.
