an ode (imagine this as a slow, reflective song, not a poem, thanks)
ever had a lady, when you threw your money down
she'd grimace and look you in the eyes
and leave you alone with your bet on the cleveland browns
ever had a lady, you just couldn't leave alone
you'd make up all the stories, just to get her back at home
everything so perfect, everything so right,
should have kept it to yourself, that you bet on a cockfight
ever had a lady, so cool and so sweet
a look in her eyes was more than you need
a touch from her could fire every synapse
even as you suffer the latest relapse
ever had a lady, who loved you every day
a lady who hung on every word you say
who said that she once loved you
till you bet it all on LSU
now she's getting hammered by some fat slob
and the bastard doesn't even have a job
but come the morrow she'll be headed back your way
cause there's no way the padres lose eleven straight
