Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

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 April 9, 2022 at 11:11 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 Jenna Logan April 9, 2022 at 11:16 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 April 9, 2022 at 11:04 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! Jenna Logan April 9, 2022 at 11:14 AM That's such a sad story, Rico. Addictions can ruin people's lives, and not just the one who has the bad habit. Thanks for reading and commenting.
