Don Johnson Poet Rhyme

Haplessness

Haplessness

I was full of happiness, 
   But she soon burst me small balloon, 
   Blue sky of happenstance,
She treated me like a loon.

So I staggered off into the night,
Without too much regret,
Soon as I was outa sight,
She placed anudder bet.

Useless racehorse he was scratched,
The bookie wouldna pay,
She bet me last Sunday shirt,
But I had gone away.
