Timothy Mcguire Poet Rhyme

Just Roll the Dice

My turn to roll the dice
No time to play nice
The bones stop and I realize
Once again I've rolled snake eyes

I am not able
To walk away form this table
Lost this months rent I regret
I need to place another bet

I wont be able to face my honey
And explain that I've lost all of our money
I need to win, it cant be that hard
Pray they will take my credit card

I never thought I would lose
No more money so they took my shoes
I'm starting to realize perhaps
Why they call this game - craps

Jan Allison April 30, 2019 at 5:58 PM it wasn't until I read a couple of poems did I realise there was a card game called craps - I just write crap in general lol. sad reality in your poems Timothy the lure of winning money leads some folk to to lose so much, got to say your final stanza sure hits home hard and is a stark reality check with a pinch of humour in that final line:-) hugs jan xx Timothy Mcguire April 30, 2019 at 9:16 PM Thank you Jan!
