Verse and worse

Great-uncle Bryce was addicted to dice
He'd gamble his wages without thinking twice
He'd look for a contest when he went for his stroll
But he won lots of gold - he was always on a roll

  1. It was not very nice
    Of great Uncle Bryce
    To fritter away
    All he'd earned in a day.

    His winnings were frittered
    His home was littered
    His wife chucked him out
    And gave him a clout!

    (There's a moral to this story!)

  2. Uncle Bryce chose to avoid programs like Gamblers Anonymous. Too bad.

  4. But a betting man's worse!
    He relys on a horse...
    but in view of this verse,
    one would need to say hearse...

    Oh, well, anyone can have an off day!

  5. Eventually his finances reached a recession,
    Not-so-great Bryce was in a depression,
    For money, he'd go to the river bank,
    To pluck some fish to sell on a plank.

  6. Fancy him going for a ramble
    And always having a gamble.
    And wasn't he plucky?
    And wasn't he lucky?
    His wife said, "Go honey!
    And make us lots of money!"
    He said, "OK!
    I'll do it today!"
    So he took the piggy bank
    But his heart just sank
    'Cause he backed a looser
    So he got drunk in the boozer
    His wife said, "Were've yer been!"
    He said, "We're broke, we ain't got a bean!"
