YES!

I Win

Every Time.

Each win I grow,

Gaining wealth and mates.

Everyone shares my glory.

++ UPDATED ++ Residents without water after burst water main

And success breed more success.

All singing when I am winning!

Reached the top, the only way is down.

Alone, crying coz I’m losing.

And failure breeds more failure.

No one shares my defeat.

Lost all cash and chums.

Each loss I shrink.

Every time,

I loose.

NO!
