The Gambling Man

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

My Unsmiling Face

Tell me, my unsmiling face,
Are you roaming earths lonliest place,
Without Mother, Father or friend,
Without beginning, middle or end,

Are you bereft, empty and hollow,
Soaked in grief, sadness and sorrow,
Tell me my unsmiling face,
Are you roaming earths lonliest place.
