Gambler O Gambler
By John Miller, Class of 2003

Gambler, O Gambler, I have some advice
You may think it rude and not very nice
Unnatural deeds bring about unnatural consequences
Gambling risks your life and your expenses
People that had everything, turn up flat broke
Their beautiful lives, go up in smoke
One game they say, which turns into ten
That's how it starts, the beginning of an end
But money is really the least of the sorrow
Relationships with people, one can not borrow
One may think "This won't happen to me"
But it is not a far off reality
Gambler, O Gambler if only you'd known
Will power would've kept you from being alone
So watch out for scratch offs and the slot machine
Casinos can be dangerous, even obscene
To think you were happy and now you are not
Depression has caused your sweet life to rot
Gambler, O Gambler, I hope you have learned
What happens in life when you take a wrong turn

Written by one of our own, this poem discusses the problems that you may encounter and the risks that you may take when you gamble. Think about it.
