How about a little ramblin'?

Ramblin' on

by Andrew M

Left and right I see the night

In front bright as daylight

Casino to casino Vegas style

Walking that last mile

Might take a while with that smile

Winners winning So much grinning

Too much booze He did lose

Not so funny Lost all his money

Wife is waiting Hubby’s fainting

End of the line Nothing is fine

Divorce of course

Will face the boss with the loss

Empty pockets Bulging eye sockets

Did not step away Has to pay and pay

Sign on the line Nothing is fine

Gotta go with the flow you know

Bad choice The inner voice

Gamble in vain ramble in pain

it’s no use She cut him loose

Starting over with rover

Sanity not vanity wins

From the heart a fresh start

His past caught up at last

Without fail He did go to jail

With no bail he began to wail

Deflated his sail no tall tale

See the judge who has a grudge

Through the tears he got years

Update:

No it's not autobiographical Just having a little fun with it ...And so am I

    Ain't no ramblin' in this [purposeful& truthful] write, Andy. Push afew lines and pull a few, and you'll get a fine lyric for a country song. The man in black would 'v appreciated a subject and lines like these.

    a boozer come loser

    your poem no snoozer

    tragedy in error done

    losing the fairer one

    watch as it comes undone

    dropping the soap won't be fun

    so get a grip before you slip

    and flip to your last trip

    I like the poem..why does he go to jail?..poor guy. I assume this is autobiographical? This is better poetry than most I read on here. Sad though.

    Source(s): I'm a published writer.

    It has the advantage of a serious subject matter to give irony to the cutsey rhymes. I think it works.

    I really liked this poem even though it was a sad tale and it sounds like some of the bad luck; i always have..
