Is It Hope Or Foolishness

Is it hope or foolishness,

Games of chance,

One more turn of the card,

The next pull of the one armed bandit

Hit me,

Come on–triple sevens,

Changing life forever.

More often than not

The wallet ends lighter,

The heart weeps louder,

The mind is more full of regret,

Maybe next time…

Jackpot!

      Absolutely, I love to play occasionally, but it certainly hasn’t been a profitable venture so far. :)

    I always hope for a financial jackpot too – when I play the lottery.
    As the saying goes – can’t win if you don’t play…

      So very true as long as the spending is within reason…that is the key. :)
