Shawn Daniels Poet I do not know?

Addiction To Greed

Slots machines are my favorite thing to do 
I love to watch the wheels go round and round  
And also when it rings and lights up with sounds 
Bonus round..... Yesssssssss I'm in 
I get five 
Hopefully lucky spins 
The first spin goes and I hit 10 bucks 
Yessssssss...I yell 
2nd spin comes and goes 
3rd spin comes and goes 
4th spin comes and ..... 
Yessssssssssssss 50 bucks  
Wooo Hoo I shout 
And everyone comes running over  
They all thought I hit A big one you see 
The the 5th spin comes and there is nothing for me  
So I keep pulling that lever of joy 
The winning seems to fade away 
Just like the paycheck I got today 
500 hundred dollars later  
Thinking I was going to win big 
I should have went home 
While I was ahead 
How do I explain to my wife and kids 
What I just did 
I can win it back 
I keep saying to myself 
All I know 
Right now I am in hell 
Pull after pull I spend the rest of the night 
I know when I get home  
Me and My wife 
Are going to have a fight
