There was an old man, <br />who put a bet on a horse. <br />The bookie told him it was a winner, <br />and he thought he’d win a lot, <br />but when the race was over, <br />he found he’d bet on the wrong horse, <br />and he had lost a lot. <br /> <br />The moral of this story, <br />every story has one to be sure. <br />Next time you place a bet. <br />This I have to say to you. <br />Check that bet twice, <br />just to make sure, <br />you haven’t put your money on a sure loser. <br /> <br /> <br />16 May 2007<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-man-fun-poem-20/
