Did you really think twice,
\nBefore you rolled the dice?
\nYour kids needed some shoes,
\nBut money went to your vice.<\/p>\n

You pulled out another deck,
\nSaid “Oh well what the heck”,
\nYou are having loads of fun,
\nTho your house is in a wreck.<\/p>\n

Well you acted so darn rash,
\nYou just spent all your cash,
\nThe wife will really explode,
\nYour marriage is gonna crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
