I Lost the Bet : Where's My Jet ?

I Lost the Bet : Where's my Jet ? I went to Vegas made a bet takin' the cab: lost my Jet! Went to settle up the score What else is new? Lost some more! Nor did Blackjack go my way, I should have left early that day! I went to gamble; lost my shirt Life's a shamble; now eatin'dirt I had a pocket full of cash sure was gone in a flash! played the craps; now eatin' scraps thought I was lucky, but to my surprise wasn't 7 or 11, it was snake eyes! I'm sorry to say, I took the bet you know how it goes;it's Russian Roulette I rolled the dice; I didn't think twice went to Vegas lost my dreams; didn't stay away from the slot machines Now I pray for my shattered life; should have played Bingo with my wife!

Or maybe a midnight stroll to gather your thoughts, and a glass of wine with the treasure of your life. Loved this write, Always, Christy
