Limerick Ode To The Gambler
Three Word Wednesday asks us to use chance, entice, and savor in a poem. I’ve coaxed them into this limerick:
Limerick Ode To The Gambler
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A gambler enticed by the chance
Of a win does a dangerous dance:
He savors the thrill,
As he loses free will.
We all know how it ends in advance.

well-done, mad and oh so true.
yes we all know how it ends.
Curiously the gambler will only remember his successes. His/her incredibly bad luck (aka stupidity) will not deter him from playing again.
Well done!
Gambling will never go away. You can bet on it!
Enjoyed your limerick! I’m too practical to gamble because I know how my gambling would end for sure!
sad but quite true. it’s amazing how such a thrill can take away someone’s common sense.
Great limerick and use of the words.
only the end becomes the beginning again.
Thanks so much everyone for your kind comments!
Yup! So very, very true!
Hehe. I definitely feel that way about the lotto and many other types of gambling… but poker I hold in a slightly different category. :) Great limerick!
Thanks Audrey and Rachel!
