Zero Assets

Gambling, he lost it all
Everything gone; betting was not his tour de force
Mind appall

No one's hero
There was anger but no remorse
Zero

Assets
lost on a horse
Debts

Gambling, he lost it all
There was anger but no remorse
Debts

Tom Cunningham Date: 4/9/2022 11:11:00 AM Some never give up trying for the big one and lose their homes, families and all their wealth in the process. The only thing that is a sure winner is working and saving for your future. Enjoy your weekend Jenna. Tom Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 4/9/2022 11:16:00 AM It's the wrong mentality, a flaw, to think just one more bet... just one more race, etc. Thanks, Tom. Weekend is lovely here and hope it is across the pond for you.

Rico Leffanta Date: 4/9/2022 11:04:00 AM My first trip to Las Vegas was in 1947; during breakfast, I watched a schoolteacher cash her paycheck and lose the lot in a slot machine, then go table to table begging for money to feed her children. Great poem, Jenna! Aloha! Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 4/9/2022 11:14:00 AM That's such a sad story, Rico. Addictions can ruin people's lives, and not just the one who has the bad habit.
