lesson 5

The first poem is very descriptive, it depicts a person going into a casino, losing then whining.
It is probably quite true, as gamblers will usually whine when they lose.

The second poem describes a person gambling, then losing his money. He continues to play as he wanted to recover his loses, but to no avail whatsoever, and to also get revenge and humiliate his opponent.

The third poem depicts how dangerous it is to put all your eggs in one basket, a term used to describe placing all of your valuables, assets, etc. into one area. The gambler uses his one and only dollar to bet on number 13, and loses the bet. He loses all of his money and does not have any money for food and other things.
