Training a Gambler
I shall have you richly prepared For the notorious life of card: Have you grasp another life hard, By far tougher than that of bard; What one does, all the time on guard; For steady losses: A Retard.

A head goes ahead to fix a pad For fifty bags of cement Andrew had; For making A Final Good out of The Bad And seeing to still feeding his lad; If, in the end, very little shall...
