Bad Beat

Bad Beat

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

.

"

on your part a bad beat is nothing faulty,

it just means you play often.

and all who play often,

do eventually in the end lose everything.

that is how this continues,

how 'we' support the big house -

each of us must lose eventually.


        dissolve into foundation


on their part a bad beat is nothing faulty,

some people are just unlucky,

(or it is their just time)

as the house must always win,

(one way or another)

eventually. . .  (if only randomly)

                      in time

    someone must be run over,

                 or it all goes to pot.

(like healthy sharks eating healthy sharks)

no one pays to bet against them self.

(evolution does not work that way at all)

I think we're all gamblers. For some, leaving the f*****g house, can be a bad beat.

I know. I lost the work football pool. Tom Brady took care of business. Carry on.
Time, chance and love make fools of everyone I guess, sooner or later. But I believe in the George Strait philosophy of "Ace in the Hole". "You got to have a little more than you let show." So to speak. It's always good to keep something in reserve.
