Many things that could be done,
When the lottery is finally won.
In my hand a stack of green,
Debts to all,would be wiped clean.
A Rv to travel, far and wide,
To all casinos, I shall ride.
Sit and play, with drink in hand,
Counting coins as they fall in demand.
Investing, is how I see it,
Lost in the momentum, of the machines heating.
Just a few more I know it, I can add to the rest,
A few more thousand, in the pocket of my vest.
Phones ringing, a business deal,
Postpone it now, as I spin the wheel.
Not now, I'm on a roll,
Craps, 5 card, 21 I hold.
Stakes aren't high enough, I raise the bet,
Reaching in deep, dealer got set.
Stack getting higher, my pocket overflows,
Gather up my chips, and hit the road.
Local church, a city away,
Donated a few thousand, for missions today.
A new house for momma, a ride for dad,
About took all the money, this gal had.
I cringed, I sighed,
Las Vegas in sight.
Ah, money spent, for love and then fun,
I'll gamble once more, as the wheel was spun.
Black, red, black, red, oh yea baby,
I am walking in luck, secrets of, a gambling lady.

interesting read
Interesting. A nice, rare, and sincere insight in to the mind of one such as yourself afflicted with an addiction to gambling. Your spelling was fine, and your poem entertaining. Nice work. -
Like playing the slots once in a while too - Vegas in December for the NFR is a great place to be. Liked the touch of humor in this poem, easy to read and understand. Good flow, rhythm and rhyme as well.
