At cards he was somewhat a shark

Gambler goes

told his wife:  Hey—what’s there to lose?

when he picked the wrong horse
Now he’s left with an old pair of shoes.

He was dumb and quite a bit screwy.

Today, he can’t afford chop suey.


Who says a limerick has to be Irish?...

There once was a gambler called Heinz,
Who needed to pay off his fines;
The right numbers he got
For the lotto jackpot -
Alas all on different lines.
