on a one armed roulette wheel

cost more than was owed

    Well done with this,

    I've tried this format and I simply can't compress what I wish to convey in such a small format.

    You seem to manage it with ease.

    Regards

    Good to come back to such concise and cutting work like this, Michael - but really, I could expect little else. Nominated.

      Hi. I'm not if I pulled this one off. In my mind I saw a person pulling an operating lever down to spin a roulette wheel with mini horses on. The idea woke me up around 3am this morning. Damn! :p

    Hi there, yogi73.

    I like these short forms. Trying to squeeze as much into 17 syllables concentrates the mind, somewhat.
    Gambling is an addiction and although I don't suffer from it, I like many others do have addictions that are relatable.

    Thanks for stopping by.
