Gambler's Get
~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Night Mist corona moon-walking on air
Sweet frangrance of chance everywhere.
'Twas a gamblers night 'ore the wide way
On the eve of new year, or so they say.
The year matters little in the long run
'Tis the essence of chance new begun
Cards to the table, if that is the game
Fate deals the tale under any name.
Gambler's Get on the soft winds walked
Odds' Child in the Change,Dealer stalked
To skill or to chance, the prey did fall
To the game,to the fates, Eternity's call.
He sat to table, She watched from the side
Gambler's Get, come to challenge, bets offside
The cards rose and fell as the Fates decreed
Silver, copper and paper, the coin of greed
She stroked His right arm, lending Him luck
He wagered His skill and played against Puck
The tale is told as He emptied His pocket
Of Gambler's Get come before Time's docket.
She reached down deep and staked His last game
At the end of a year, in lost love's name
He Played, on old habit, and lost, to his shame
Gambler's Get and the bet and the last Game
