Gambling Is So Dumb

Gambling is so dumb.
We play ‘til we’re numb.
All we do is lose.
It’s the same old news.

It’s fun while we play,
But the fun doesn’t stay.
When the money’s all gone,
I feel so sad and dumb 
And wish we’d just stayed home.

susan, I wrote a little poem kind of like this one, about a time we went to a small border town of Utah. It's called Wendover, Nevada. the whole time we were there, I looked around me thinking how retarded the whole thing was, the people on the slot machine like stupid robot people. I was wishing to see some nice shows and there was nothing. So I went to my hotel room and wrote the poem! Luv Andrea
