Ballad of a gambler.🏇

·

Been here ‘fore, hit some lows
Spent everything that I know
The odds against me but I must try
To place all my faith on the horses to fly

My fate in the hands of a nag
That’s never felt the pleasure of a win
Yet I still hope the world will bend
And bring me a win on my little spend

They race and leap, leap and race
Over jumps and with such grace
I’m hoping when I look up again
My stint with bad luck will end

So I give my heart to the beast
And we wait for the jumble of passions to cease
The crowd roars, my heart skips a beat
My pick has come in, I’m back on my feet
