Gambling Is A Losing Game

Love is a losing game.

Gambling is often seen as a sin. But life, love and all in between is a gamble, and as a child, my favourite plaything was a deck of cards…

God and the Devil opened casinos
To see who would win
God promised honest dealing
The devil tempted with music and sin

God promised value and fairplay
The customer could keep the jackpot they won
The devil promised massive odds and wild promises
The devil seemed to be much more fun.

Gods casino was strangely empty
No one was there to be dealt the cards he wished to deal
The card tables were busy at the devils place
At Russian roulette the bullets were real…

Things got so bad God thought about spicing things up
A casino owner to stay open has to win
But realised that he is God
Is not meant to encourage sin.

Leave the gamblers to the devil and his casinos
The fact the casino failed is not Gods shame
He is no shyster, not even a businessman
Gambling is a losing game.

Have your say...
