Throw a six
and then claim your prize
Bit like pick and mix
that was never wise.
You shake them up
and then you mix them
what have you received?
a cheap polished, plastic gem.
Did you really want this prize?
Got to be seen to be believed
from an aged machine
it is all a bit of red tape
but at least it's clean
But that is not a crime
nothing was highlighted
at that particular time
you were rather delighted.
It wasall out on display
and you made your selection
on a fake silver lined tray
alas, it is a misrepresentation.
But it was the thrill
it only cost about one penny
you left at your own free will
best that then leave without any.
Plastic gems in silver trays
it is no wonder you are now broke!
that is good in so many ways
it is just money for old rope.
