There once was a gambler named Mark
At cards he was somewhat a shark
	he missed his cue
	lost his juju
Now he sleeps in a public park

Cash

The gambler was hard-up for cash
Didn’t get it, but instead got a rash
He worked up an inch
His stomach started to twitch
Money hungry, the man felled and crash

Premium Member A Stung Out Gambler

A high stakes gambler who lives in Marquette
is in Nevada alone and in debt
Now homeless in Reno
behind a casino
he craves just one more game of roulette

                   Gambler comes

Premium Member The Gambler' S Descent

Let  me not be  hampered  at all.
Allow every chip to fall
I am with spleen displayed
Utterly despaired  with tempid  tears
Soiled and disheveled,--A POST MARKED SOUL

looking for a special someone to trust.

But even if he finds the right person

or distrust
and stay

A Dollar Will Do

You can not win if you do not play.
Is what the gambler will always say.
One in a million.
A dollar will do.
To win it would be quite a coup.

For Susan Burch's limerick contest.

A big-time gambler in Santa Cruz
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.

Darling, my love for you will never die--
    Just then, two shots rang out
      She heard him cry

  O! she groaned. Please don't go yet
    He smiled, then went ~ but won the bet

Heinz the Gambler

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.

*My experience with the lottery last week

Premium Member A Chinese Limerick

A gambler from Hong Kong named Louie.
He was dumb and quite a bit screwy.
In a gambling pad,
he lost all he had.
Today, he can’t afford chop suey.


Who says a limerick has to be Irish?

Deposition

A downy clay near
fingertips. I ascend light
to meet darkness.

An ambush memory.
Remember your name ?
No, I don’t know me.

Gambler raises
the stakes to win his dirt
from golden nails.

Premium Member So Willingly Woodsman Sat Down

there was a woodsman that lived in rosewood
approached a nymph sleeping in underwood
a gambler loved by the bards
sat down with a deck of cards
with sleight of hands lost his axe, boots and hood

Premium Member My Gambler Friend

   My gambler friend was addicted to sports
   He’d place bets on which golfer’d wear shorts
     He made tons of money
     Which pleased his sweet honey
   ‘Til one day he bet she’d break out in warts

Premium Member A Certainty

Cut your teeth on a sure thing and they’ll all fall out, too soon. The gambler loses a lifetime, while the diligent will succeed. The only certainty; the sure thing, in this life, si death.

Premium Member The Gambler

I have gambled love, and lost. I have gambled my money, and lost. I have gambled life, and lost. I have gambled away time, and lost. Is is not about time, I have gambled on me, and won?

This is the viral solstice and I am liberties gambler.
What would I give to taste the fresh air of freedom?

Anything.

Thaw-out that space-cold hope and puncture me – please.
God blesses the poets to write of such miracles.

Premium Member a shameless risk taking gambler

a shameless bluffer
he won at poker and twenty-one
an audacious risk-taker
brazen, brave, and bold
daring to do what most would not
my grandfather-in-law, the gambler
who lost his house to a bad hand of cards in the thirties
