Roulette and Madame Zilch

Dedicated to the Roulette Players of the World and Scott Ansel
We called you Madame Zilch
Before the ball Rolled
And we were dead on
How could we have known.
Your name was something Russian
And it sounded harsh
Just like the Zeros
You dealt us with panache.
The wheel kept revolving
For a half hour or so
And we saw all of our numbers
And more pass go
But you kept striking Zero
And spoiling the show
Soon after a Double
And nothing to front
Which made us see trouble
And let's not be blunt.
When you lose at Roulette
It's not always bad luck.
