Online bingo (a cautionary tale of online gambling)

Online bingo (a cautionary tale of online gambling)

Online bingo was all the rage
Chosen drug of your middle age.
You never win but still you linger
As you await fortune’s fickle finger.

Then one day, out the blue
You win £100k all for you.
Go online, find a plane
Take the Easyjet down to Spain.

You buy a villa, learn the lingo
Muchas Gracias online bingo.
Life is great, life is grand
The you see him in the sand.

Long and lean in speedo shorts
Turns your mind to other sports
Take him home, it’s the same in any lingo
Then straight back to the online bingo.

Time goes by and soon you see
Your money’s gone and so has he.
You don’t care a feather or a fig
Because soon you’ll win big.

Online bingo try again
You don’t even need a lucky pen
Online bingo was all the rage
Preferred narcotic of your middle age.
