The gambling apps are scary,
Though they
don’t tempt me a bit,
For the ones
who should be wary
Are the ones
who’ll take a hit.
Just like
every addiction,
There’s an
obvious appeal,
But a
gambling affliction
Is the worst
kind of raw deal.
Those who
really can’t afford it
Are lured in
because the odds
Bring them
one step closer toward it,
Feeling up
there with the gods.
What once worked
for only races –
Horses, greyhounds,
cars that drag,
Now is found
in many places,
Waiting for
some saps to snag.
Who will score
more in a ball game?
Who’ll be
leading in the polls?
What will be
the Royal babe’s name?
Who will
land the leading roles?
Though it’s
bad enough when older
Folks are drawn
to such a con,
Younger
people, sometimes bolder,
May find all
their dreams are gone.
