Gamblers with Hearts

     Trusting souls 
       gamble with hearts

     Even odds ~
       they’re riven apart

A Gamblers Game

Love is a gambler’s game
Either way it goes,
You’ll never be the same

I gambled half my pot
And sent out my greatest ship
But unlike what I thought,
Cards of hearts were never flipped

Soon I’m down to metal
But I'll win it just you wait!
I'll get a fortune settle
Maybe she’s just late…

I gambled with nothing left
But gave up my addiction
I

A Gamblers Diary

A GAMBLERS DIARY
Lady luck gave me a smile
Although it took just a little while
A gamblers life is always hard
I play the horses and I play the cards
Always have those broken dreams
I lose more than I win it seems
Say about me what you will
It’s my life and it pays the bills
On and on it never ends
I

Gamblers and Mourners 'Round the World

The gamblers and the mourners
Explore the vagaries of fate,
The expediency of life
Dangling in the capitol rotunda
Like a hanged man
His hair standing on end,
His boots in the air.

Write, sing, boo,
Do what you will
Never mind the outcome.
Words are cheap, they said,
But they knew better.
The price was dust--
Gold dust, that is--
By the ounce.  Enough.
Enough.

Swinging from that bough,
Rope

A Gamblers Lament

A Gambler’s Lament

Lead me out from the madness there in my mind
Into the wind of a coming November,
Come light now shine your brightest glow
And tempt my aging bones;
When such a thing as the noise of night
Beckons in silence to me
I listen to each imagined word

For dread I alone to feel no more
The muscles that toil

Gamblers Anonymous

To these meetings, many more people will go,
as long as the gambling industry continues to grow.
Folks come from the track, the lottery, and the casino.
Outside help is what these gullible victims seek.
They meet at designated locations once a week.
Because this was a vice they could not control,
their compulsive habits have taken a toll.
They only know

Gamblers Gain

Conform not my reply, say lest
it is the quiet's way, infest
and all that seek chance, ply invest
and all that labor ~ try in wrest!

Where mockery lays to rest
and years gone by are best . . 
I lay my quandary's test
. . . God's laundry of duress!

Can fool the purse of paradise,
the gamblers take their lives

Gamblers All



Gamblers All
by Rick Rucker

Some gamble big, others small,
I can assure you, we're gamblers all.

Some bet it all on the roll of dice,
Others asking out a Woman, nice.

Bullfighters live on odds real slim,
That they stab the Bull, 'fore it stabs him!

Some drivers bet that a light, turning red,
Still means that it's clear ahead.

There is a growing
