Gambling

I'm not too lucky when I gamble I lose more than I win I would probably do better If I tossed my money in a bin Gambling is not just luck It's timing and some skill Some gamble for the fun of it Some gamble for the thrill To define exactly what it means To risk money that you've earned Means throwing out sensible thought And not heeding what you've learned For example, I played poker And I lost most every cent I lost my mortgage payment Now, I'm living in a tent To win it back I chose to go And bet double at the track The first horse that I bet on Fell and broke his back The second horse was scratched I was in for a bad night My fifth horse only had three legs And he could just turn right The next one had a jockey Who's eyes were badly crossed I won't tell you how he finished But, I'll tell you that he lost To gain back my small pittance I went to the greyhound track My first dog had a rider A small monkey on his back In the third race I got daring And I bet on number three Once the race got started He had to stop and pee I picked a dog in the fifth race Just because I liked his name It was the best one I had ever heard "I'MBETYOU'RESORRYTHATYOUCAME" The odds were long but what the hell I was now gambling just for fun Not only did he catch the rabbit My bloody dog had won I think I've got the secret now I know just how to win If I get tempted to go back and bet I'll throw my money in the bin.
