Have you ever been in a "Crap Shoot"?

Question: Have you ever been in a "Crap Shoot"!?

Crap Shoot

Hunkered down in dark alley way
wild faced players gather
with taste of blood
the game's begun
step right up
ante in
dice they rattle
clickity clank, clink
in rusted can they shake
to see how your heart will look
splattered upon their fevered ground!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hey! Now THAT's good!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Shake up the cup and throw them bones,
Seven come eleven!.
The baby needs a pair of shoes,
Take it up to heaven!.

Boxcars are not a choice to want,
Nor snake-eyes on the dice!.
I rolled an eight, it is my point,
Two fours would now be nice!.

Just let it ride, I'll roll again,
A seven and I win!.
If I can hit just one more time,
I'll have back my lost fin!.

Snake-eyes, I'm bust, it's all gone now,
I'll go home broke once more!.
And when my wife finds we've no food,
She'll kick me out the door!.

Is that why we say 'That's a load of crap'!? Gambling's not one of my vices!.!.!.!.well, except for those Arcade games where you feed pennies in through a slot and they build up until they crash over the side and down the shoot!.!.!.!.I love them!.!.!.can't leave till all my pennies are lost!.

Nice little pattern you've created there on the page!.!.!.!.!.last two lines elevates this up from okay to good!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love it!.
The ending shook me up!.
I have had my heart bleeding out
on more than one crap table
and all the while
I shook those dice
and smiled!.

Write to me, we'll trade
poetry!.
