Gambling

I've never been a gambler 
For I've never liked the odds
And out the horse racers
Seems a hell of a job

I don't like the pokies
For it seems a waste of time
Looking at the colours 
As they run around in kind

I am not skilful at cards 
For I could never bluff
So now I ponder hard
The odds is not enough.
