Just a nine
is all I need.
I have greed.
That will be fine.
I don't know
what's coming next.
I'm only betting to win!

I talk on the phone while I’m letting
Leaving a treat in the toilet, I’m setting
It’s not quite fair
Poo’s in the air
The other person doesn’t know, I’m betting

somewhat a surprise
comfort now my weary eye's
make me forget time
eye's across the room
come into my hungry view
my eye's are feasting
eye's follow their prey
betting their chances what may
devour love one day

Las Vegas' rushed pace was upsetting,
Which left a gambler dazed and sweating,
At the fast evening’s end
Met he a posh girlfriend...
They wed quickly through drive-in betting!

Just sitting has become a fashion and the order of the day of life schooling to shopping,leisure to relaxing,chatting to betting,mailing to billing whatever once standing working sitting on a desk like at schools on line in searching the offline.

I wonder if Betty was grandmother to Norman
Both being creative and somewhat prolific
Not knowing either well, I can’t be specific
I’m betting they both own a George Foreman.

Light Verse
There is a town that is so enchanting,
at it’s center a strip of wild saloons.
A hidden game’s still in play enticing
gentlemen with a lust for golden spoons.
While holding a Joker’s hand start betting
you may get lucky and find the tycoons.
Are you breezy enough to shoot a shot?
Life is a gamble here, like it or not.

Ottava rima
Just when the quick peruse
Turns obtuse
Thereby roundly refused
That noose for an excuse
We made the day quake with paper
Gracious allowance
By overwriting the undercurrent
Betting down for stamps in the sky
The commander brands his mule
Make the work horse a tuning fork
And finance a forgotten tomb
The evidence of genealogy

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

If I remember, I will not forget,
To put up my umbrella when it's wet.
Splashing in a puddle, is a hoot.
Until that pesky rain, fills my gum boot.
Betting on a race, don't bet on the snail,
Don't tie a knot in a guinea pig’s tail.
Wet or dry , it’s fun being a chicken,
Don't want to be told I'm finger licken..

I fell to see the fairness indeed
Of a moment we live just to age and forget
When there is nothing less unless we give our best
We mostly remember inept
I want to know why we can't see ourselves grow
But age will dog us to an instant regret
But time does not flinch at the moment's stench
And hope the best has not passed us by yet

He is a bookies monkey,
A blackjack Joe,
A casino junkie,
A slot machine Moe,
He is a roulette Roger,
A double down Dave,
A betting shop lodger,
A gambling slave,
He is a baccarat Billy,
A poker sharp Pete,
A wily old Willie,
A Charlie cheat,
He is a high stakes Harry,
A dog track Dan,
A lotto Larry,
He is the gambling man

Ah..O God..
How I ended up by
Betting for sale my heart..
At a station no encircle only
But snake and 'two swallowed pebble '
Jumping in my chest as a fish
,
Ah..O God..
I became a sand,
a small finger to squirrel
And.. face of flames to comets
Sharpen her Blade on my neck
,
Ah.. O God..
How I ended up betting
To sell my grave..? !

This is not the words of anesha,this is her daughter zakhyrah cooper 10year old.
Money,Money,Money you make fools of me,
using you like betting on games,can't find the
way cause I can't consertrate.Your greenish
and expensive ways don't mean a thing,not
the sweetest or thickness of you but your
badness of all mineless mess you cause
for stress.

From the childhood days
playing monopoly games....
life is a betting
on the board of life
a dice is ever rolling....
no fuel shortage
fuel is the lust
only exhausts with the death....
the game of dice ends

Love Loves it when,
Romance is in the air,
And we agree to share.
Love Loves it when,
Children come first,
And we wait to quench our thirst.
Love Loves it when,
Welcome mats,
Are as common as old hats.
Love loves it when,
Flowers shops,
Outnumber betting shops.
Love Loves it,
When hate stays outside the gate,
And love songs propagate.

Whoever said
That life is a bet?
You roll the dice hard
I shuffle the cards
With no way of knowing
What will be showing
Some take the first hand
Others wait, pay the band
I’m betting on you
You call your hand too
Our hearts they are matching
Other suits all are lacking
You say “oh that’s ducky”
But I know we’re lucky

I want to fly high
Fly up to the sky
I want to defy
People who say I can’t fly
Zoom! Away I go
To the blue place I know
Shining so bright
With the sun as my light
Flying frees me from fretting
Soaring straight into the sky
My friends are betting
How high I’ll fly
They don’t know
How high I’ll go
I will dream though
That I can let go
And fly

Children will come
again asking “why?”
What will we say?
Should we even try?
I’m betting most people
won’t get too far
I’m just not okay with
“That’s just who we are.”
Especially since
we have freedom to choose
all we might gain
all we could lose
Let us not use our choices
to take theirs away
they’ll be asking, “but why?”
for the rest of our days.

AUTUMN : COMPULSIVE GAMBLER
Waste leaves no gain
Only loser-game pain.
Autumn squanderer, late season gambler,
Compulsive, forced spender,
Staking every last gold penny.
Feels he can afford the luxury,
Throws his yellow banknotes to the floor
In dramatic confidence gesture,
Betting that winter won’t come yet.
He will lose the bet.

Couplet
From side to side
beady eyes dart
just a-playin’ the game
horse before cart
betting with wild abandon
without a leg to stand on…
lips drawn, tightly sealed
face a mask, nothing revealed
shifty eyes, swivel seat
shifting sands of time
cards flutter up, then down
~ sifting fortune's meltdown

How much profit
have you made
on your greed
The bursar
of hell
wants to know
How has your
avarice
lived unrestrained
A glutton
those starving
in tow
How many times
have you dealt
from the bottom
Betting
the players
were blind
Sleeving that ace
that sends
you to hell
In debt
to the devil

The U.S. eclipse on April 8, 2024,
begins at Eagle Pass Texas.
The Central focus of today's events and impendings.
Let me ask you, are you a betting Man/Woman?
What are the odds that God isn't the creator,
of signs...?
This anonymous and random accident
ends its U.S. tour at Maine Solar System, where there is visitation of Planets.
Incoming...?

I've always loved predicting
Which will be the last to die.
I'm rarely right but still each night
I study them and try.
They start out on an equal plane
But who knows why they change.
Like human life spans, variance
Will always seem so strange.
So as the end draws near, I watch
To see which burns down last.
Just one more night and then another
Chanukah has passed.
