The gambler racked up quite a debt,
but always claimed he’d pay it back.
They put a bounty on his head
and caught him at a country track.
They placed him in the guillotine,
then kindly granted one last wish.
He asked to hear the latest odds
and tipped the favourite in the fifth.

Ha!!
Love it.
Why does my neck hurt? Good one DB – if you don’t laugh you cry on the punt.
On a serious note – https://gaaustralia.org.au
It changed my life – hope it changes the life of someone you know and more importantly the family, friends and work colleagues they are hurting.
Only you can change – but you can’t change on your own.
Thanks Dips, PB. Gamblers anonymous are great, PB. Turned around a good mate of mine a few years back too.
Timely and nicely poeticised DB. Picturing metaphorical guillotines going through a number of Aussie bank accounts in the coming weeks.
