The Bets We Overlooked.

We ponder Ger our wasted years,
Our folles and our sins;
At times are all but moved to tears
AS backward memory spins.
The many times that in the stew
Our gosing has been cooked
We scarce can count as we review
The bets we overlooked.
There is the girl we might have we'd
When we We're young and fresh;
Another fellow got ahead
And caught her in his mesh.
Her fathers millions number three;
She as his heir is booked;
This must be charged to, thus you see,
The bets we overlooked.
One time fellow came around
With tempting mining stock
To let us in right on the ground
AT twenty cents block
We did not follow with our dough
When he his finger crooked;
It's listed high and with also
The bets we overlooked.
The worthy things that we have miss,
Or lightly tossed away
Would make, we feel assured, a list
From Denver to Bombay.
The worthless things ON which we spen
Our money right along
That never brought us in cent
Would make a list as long
