The Bets Final Gossip
Well this will be my last Alphabet gossip poem
As l was summoned to Alphabet H.Q’s this morning
Told in no uncertain terms there will be ‘no more Alphabet gossip’
And given my final warning
So, l wanted to tell you about the letter A
Who stands full of pride at the start of “ The Bet”
A…happens to be the

Critterature: Place Your Bets
A yak and a yeti made a bet
To see which one was the hairiest.
The yak was an ox,
And the yeti, no "fox",
Had already won as the scariest.
Neither had the allure
Of the latest coiffure,
They were unkempt and creasy and craggy.
Then a monk passing by
Judged the bet was a tie
For their coats were both equally shaggy.
Well, the

White Sweetie Poodle Always Bets On Red
White Poodle Sweetie always bets on red.
Never wins but is consistent in her bets.
The whole roulette table is in an uproar.
White Poodle Sweetie is betting on black!
The cry went up. Every dog began barking and squealing.
The entire casino went wild; it was crazy.
Local reporter and photographer ran in, on standby.
White Poodle Sweetie holds them all

Bets On Christmas Cow
Christmas Cow wanted to be a reindeer for sure.
He had a special hat made, and he made his heart pure.
His neighbors thought it was hilarious and funny.
His friends bet each other some real money,
That Christmas Cow would become a snowman too.
They were not surprised when he ordered a holiday shoe.
He ended up living in

Watch Your Bets
If a person bets you that their dog can speak French
Do not take the bet
If a person bets you that they can spit a watermelon seed fifty feet
Do not take the beet
If a person bets you they will drop a TV set out of a window and run down there
and catch it before it

Place Your Bets
at the start, it was to be competitor
choose only one corridor
or not to be there, or nowhere
and lose all what we plan for
who knows at the arrival maybe
there will be a seat to acquire
to bet on the right card you had to be vampire
to be nearby… in a paranoia
at two fingers to

Bipolar Med Bets
Seroquel made me sleep and gain weight,
Abilify constantly made me pace,
But Paxil made me lose my cool,
Plus talk too much like a fool,
And Geodon gave me insomnia of late...
So either fattened up in a grog,
To the point of being a hog,
Or join the forced march,
Which is so very

Placing Bets
PLACING BETS
restless impatient
mistakes
cold regrets of new
intakes
it takes one night too
long
placing bets high and
strong
holding wild cards too
close
wrecks those we love
most
shut up sit down first class let down
dark velvet midnight
talker
filthy clay grey alley
stalker
burning flames fast fuel
pace
day late ultimate
disgrace
shut up sit down first class let down
getting ready as rains fall
heavy
let it fall
fall
fall
once again
unsteady

Place Your Bets
Is it loss to lose your child
To the world of adulthood?
Or is it a gift so precious
Made in love when all was good?
Is it worth loving someone
If in the end the End will take?
Or do I love in good faith
If only for love's sake?
Should I fear the future
And it's fickle wheel of chance?
Or should I

Where You Place Your Bets
Like inadequacies, you run amok
in this foolish game of chance.
Running idle without direction,
you sit in my driveway waiting for a form of tomorrow.
Let me take you for a spin this time;
Let me drag you through this mud and silt.
I have a collection of broken dreams,
and missing pieces of the soul.
I will let
