A poem about a gambler and his sickness. A horse race gone wrong
          He was on another binge
          He won it all then lost again
          A two time loser friend
          It's the loss that he can't stand
          It's in the mind of a betting man

          His bet was on a pony race
          Ten thousand on the eight to place
          His horse was on his way
          Then it slowed down and hit the brakes
          His horse came in third that day
