Hunted punter

By Ajise Oluwaseyitan Peter

A broke Sunday evening, on a solemn walk.
A broke last quarter would have emphasised more.
Labour was scare, tenders were poor.
Food stuffs were expensive, provisions cost more.

Dele had just won again in over 50years.
200box on 23odd,all games were my suggestion.
Falz "the way" rang loud in my head, the need to know mine sang
600box left in my account, my way could be punting

600box, 50odds, 1 days game, 1 shocking win.
Eye bulged, awoof won! I wanted more.
3000k won, 3odd, 1day game, another hit.
9k was my solution, but greed was an issue.

Weekend games were gone, sure big teams had played
Monday came along with leagues from Greece,Croatia and Africa
One last try it was, just 1.5 odd, just 13.5k
Randomly selecting safe bets, victory was norm

Sound sleep, victory dream, liberation songs.
Goodmorning onevoice, I sent an unusual compliment.
Enroute to Livescore I was their bants notification,i cared less
Livescore was where hope melted to sorrow

Naijabet was where joy shattered to broke
4 safe bets had become victims of robbery
My glorious punt walk ended with a 1.5odd, I cried
Awo boys cared less, they had seen worse.
I resumed a broke Tuesday morning with a suicide thought
