The Gambler and His Wife

There once was a gambler named Brent Who had all his wife's money spent She heard of his debt Then worked up a sweat Cause a hole is where he had went!

A fun Lim Justin…… Gambler Brent truly regrets the day - He gambled his wife's money away - He lives in the hole - Shares it with a mole - Whilst the misses enjoys her field day.….. Belle

Thanks, Belle. Your the greatest storyteller anyone would love. I like how you twist my words into your very own. It inspires me. Have a good night, my friend! Justin.

Good one, Justin. I don't think these two are going to make it. Seems like they are broke and he is in a hole!
