A Pagan Gambler's Plea
Gods and goddesses of Olympus.
Hear me, especially Athena.
You are the goddess of good fortune.
I am losing at this craps table.
I am right alongside the ocean.
Perhaps great Poseidon will help me.
I’ve lost so much money in this place.
Father of the seas, a tidal wave
won’t be a bad idea right now.
Wipe the boardwalk of these evil dens.
Send all of those bums right to Hades.
