The Gambler's Lament

[Ian A]

Evening All,
I have acquired this poem from somewhere but I have no author. Anyone help?
Ian.

They're telling up at Dwellingup, the story of my plight.
Lost money on the Melbourne Cup;
my bank account went belly-up;
I did a flit (at night).

- and so on with lots of place names.

'Day All,
I must offer an apology. I now find out that author of The Gambler's Lament is Bessie Jennings who belongs to the same Port Macquarie Poetry Group as myself. How embarrassing.

Ian.

LMGO Oh Ian they say you should always look close to home first Lol. Mate I thought i was the only one who did that sort of stuff.


All is well that ends well.
