The Gambled Gambler
The gambler is back from the pub
His team is down into defeat
A trashing at home
With an astounding goal margin
His money put on bet is lost
His heart pounding with rage and disappointment
He’s thinking still
But not standing aright
Of his own game he’s been undone
What his thinking is like a stone his chewing
Which he neither could swallow nor take as food
A fool – a cheat must be cheated
