Bad Luck Rap

Luck I haven't but skills I do. If you play my game I'll bury you. Using my head and not my heart, I control the game from the start. I use my mind to chart a course so, rest assured, you can bet on this horse. I play to win, never to place; Determination, that's my ace. Whether it's cards, checkers or life, I go for the kill, cut like a knife. I'm not a poor loser, just a better winner so, stand aside before your wallet gets thinner. Never waste money on a game of chance: a fool's wager in any circumstance. I don't spend my hard-earned cash on fools like you, just talking trash. So, throw those dice or spin that wheel or scratch that ticket; How does it feel? Once again you're taken for a ride; Luck enticed you, then let you slide. Luck is a con man. I'm not a big fan. He'll take all you got when you think you're hot. If I bet, then you can bet too that luck's not around to take his due. Any luck I've ever had, It's all been bad. March 3, 2018
