Skimmed Finances

The joy of taking chances,
Is the realization no obligation...
Or a hint of commitment,
Has been exchanged with anyone.
Although...gamblers are seldom without,
Someone else's resources!

If a failed move is going to be interpreted...
At least the guilt factor is minimized.
And the choice to suffer is localized.
Or...
It doesn't become a shared experience.
It's not suppose to.

Unless...
Personal investments were made,
From skimmed finances.
To pass this off as a need to increase taxes.
IF...
A chance taken has not proven to be lucrative!
