Life as a deck of cards

Even in a simple set of playing cards, one can find time and the seasons, the weeks and days of the year. In fact, a deck of cards is a calendar, it has 4 suites, for the 4 seasons, 52 cards, for the 52 weeks, 12 picture cards for the 12 months and if one counts all the values one comes to 365 for the days, with the added joker, for the leap year to make 366 days. You will not look at a deck of cards the same again after reading this.
