Nov 2010
I went to Vegas made a bet
  takin' the cab: lost my Jet!  
Went  to settle up the score
What else is new? Lost some more!  
Nor did BlackJack go my way,
I should have left early that day!
I went to gamble; lost my shirt
Life's a shamble; now eatin'dirt    
I had a pocket full of cash      
sure was gone in a flash!
played the craps; now eatin' scraps  
thought I was lucky, but to my surprise
wasn't 7 or 11, it was snake eyes!  
I'm sorry to say, I took the bet
you know how it goes;it's Russian Roulette
I rolled the dice; I didn't think twice  
went to Vegas lost my dreams;
didn't stay away from the slot machines
Now I pray for my shattered life;  
should have played Bingo with my wife!
