my father wasn't a bit of a gambler,
                       fifty pence per bet....
   that's all it took...
      gambling was innocent fun,
      or as some might have it:
                   a play on prophetic told you so.
           e.g. lexington grace at nottingham
                           2.10 fillies' novice stakes
              then there was maiden stakes with
                 the prediction first-runner
                      lord commaner.
handicap: the winner? thaqafa.
fillies' once more... a handicap...
                                      la casa tarifa.
etc.
                        i was never too much
into... munch into gambling...
       don't know, maybe i thought:
there's much more to money than
this?
                but i guess that's how it goes,
     the poor get gambling,
the rich get philanthropy - you do
the μαθ.
                    all i have is:

9 6 7 3 5 4 2 8 1
2 1 5 6 9 8 7 4 3
4 8 3 7 1 2 5 6 9
   3 7 2 4 8 6 1 9 5
   5 4 8 1 7 9 6 3 2
   6 9 1 2 3 5 4 7 8
      7 3 4 9 2 1 8 5 6
      1 5 9 8 6 7 3 2 4
      8 2 6 5 4 3 9 1 7

oh **** me i was dry and out, and probably
  will be with the next few days to come...
                       my last interest / concern?                  
            what people like.
my first interest / concern?
          what people could frankly do, withtout.
