10 to 1 odds.

I am a little strange
and I'm not what I appear,
but I'm loyal to a fault
and I really am sincere...
when I say I am just lonely
and a family's so nice,
I know it could all hang on
just a throwing of a dice,
So, if you care to risk it
and adopt a "colleen fair"
then I've lost a blessed fiver!
on a bet we could have shared...
