My Last Chip

Ive just one more chip
Left here in my life
Not the one there on my shoulder
Left there by an ex-wife

And its not from a casino
That I could play for just a chance
No thats not in the cards
As is not true romance

Its not made from chocolate
No that would be too great
Stuffed in a delicious cookie
But wishing don't seal fate

Of course the only chip that I have left
And why Ive kept it I still don't know
Yes the only chip left in my life
Was given to me by a Buffalo
