Croupier

Everything Goes to Hell Anyway


                             A woman when she weeps
                             A merchant when he swears
                             A thief who says he'll pay
                             A lawyer when he cares
                             A snake when he is sleeping
                             A drunkard when he prays
                             I don't believe you go to heaven when you're good ...........
                             Everything goes to hell anyway

Funny Valentine


                              Your looks are laughable
                              Unphotographable
                              Yet you're my favorite work of art

Without a Word























        As an adult, i have never said goodbye. I have left wives and lovers, naturally, but i have always disappeared without a word. I am one of those men who leaves the house, ostensibly, to get a package of cigarettes, and is never heard from again. That way, it is easier on both parties. As long as a man leaves everything behind, including his money, possessions and clothes, he will have no regrets when he begins a new life somewhere else.
