Spining The Wheel
As they lift the lever, spin the wheel
For somebody broke the seal
They realise it was not for man to deal
With another man...then things conceal...
As they flicked the coin, cast the lot
Around their collar some got so hot
Breaks are on but the damage is done
Without his council man's been outrun...
... by his own foolishness...
