A Gambler's Family
It is the end of the week, and another payday.
The man ignores responsibilities and the bills he must pay.
A trip to the casino is what this gambler will choose.
More than likely, again he will lose.
He prefers to stay inside where it is not sunny.
Riding on long-shot bets will be his money.
The probability is this bettor will be down on his luck.
He will blow his bankroll and not give a ****.
The man decides to leave early in the morning.
He disregards each family member’s warning.
Once more, he displays his temper without any class.
After hitting the wall, he says; “Shove it up your ***!”
There is one certain thing while he is alive.
This loser will go and gamble despite the long drive.
After dropping all of his own hard-earned money,
he will go and steal from his family.
Ones who care for him he treats like small change.
He believes his behavior is something not strange.
On another casino trip, the money is blown away.
He says, “Don’t worry; I’ll get it back some day.”
