Craps! You Lose

‘Brand new shooter coming out’.

Place your bets and let them fly.

Crowd surrounds the table as you

Hold the ivories, let them roll to

Chance, spin their dotted dance to

Come to rest, yield their point,

Give you hope that you might beat

The house, break that losing chain.

 

Time and time and time again

You buck the odds, continue on,

Knowing that your chance grows thinner

Every time you make a pass.

Letting grass grow tall around your ankles

As you search for clues.

Blow the dice, close your eyes,

Someone cries out,

“Craps! You lose.”
