My Bet

I bet on a horse and it won 50 quid is not a huge sum So I bet again and still won But 100 quid is still a small sum So I bet again and guess what? Yes, I won But 300 quid is still not a big sum So you know what I did? Yes u do I bet again and yes I won But 500 quid is not a big sum, So I decided to go to the zoo to buy a gorilla who had flu I got him cheap, but he was big, bigger then my 500 sum I bet he could swim, jump, play polo and clean out a sump He did all this with much glee, but I am still not rich you see My poorly gorilla costs me a lot, the vets are an expensive lot So my 500 quids are no more, and my gorilla looks sad even more. So I sold my pet to my vet, cus he wanted him as a pet Now I have 500 to bet, and yes on a horse. I bet My horse was called gorilla in the mist Gosh what a fantastic twist. Surely my horse should win this race, and yes he did, at a casual gait. Now I have 1000 quid to my name, so back to the zoo, for some other game. I brought a giraffe, with my stake, he had a long neck and he smelled great But my story ends here as my Dr appeared. Come on he said to me, what have written on your pad? Wow said my Dr that’s just great, now time for your medication date!

Lots of fun...shows a great sense of humor... like the purchase of the gorilla and the giraffe--both ungainly and impossible 'pet' animals!
