The Web Poetry Corner - Hardy Parkerson - Gambler Goes to Church

Gambler Goes to Church

by

Hardy Parkerson

I gave the Lord fifty dollars
And I got five hundred:
Pretty good trade,
Wouldn't you say?
But I can't bring myself
To give another fifty,
Or a hundred or two;
I'm tight as Jew.
Well, the Lord said,
"Give, and you shall get!"
And, Brother, I can't argue with that;
But it's hard to give money,
When you need it so bad for yourself.
Well, I guess I'll take a hundred
And invest it in the Lord
And make myself a thousand,
According to his word.
Wish I had more to gamble,
For it bests the tables any old day.
