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. Don Johnson 20-july-11 Francine Roberts Contest Name happiness is a balloon
