My Love

Written by: Serpent Vahl, The Common Backstabber
Date: Tuesday, December 26th, 2000
Addressed to: Everyone


My love is that of Gambling
The joy from throwing down 5 lessons on t2
the agony of defeat when the ball lands on double zero
I have lost all my lessons...ooo
and all of my gold too

I take a look I see that I have nothing
Nothing left, not even enough
for my trip to Ulangi

My love of gambling is a deadly one
I throw down all I got
hoping to make a ton

All I ever get is condolences from Kes
And a mocking laugh from the man in black
Another bet, and I am 1000 gold and 5 lessons less
I love gambling, and gambling likes my money

I run around like a madman ratting
to make just a couple hundred that I can double or triple
In one throw of the ball I am out of the game
Sarapis made me, and Gambling is beginning to unmake me

Yet no matter how much I lose, I can't help but go back for more
I'm not an addict, I can take it or leave it
Once I break away from my love to go to Ulangi with just enough
for the fare, so I can never return to gamble again

However, all the prevention I take won't be enough
I'll be back, just you see
To stay with my love
Gambling and me

Penned by my hand on the 15th of Sarapin, in the year 266 AF.
