    When learning to play games as kids,
    The object was quite clear.
    Do the best that you can do
    And attend to what you hear.
    The object is, of course, to win
    While higher values drifted by-
    But we never were warned
    Nor did we suspect
    That working to be the best was a lie.

    In a casino one night in the past
    Watching '21' from the far side,
    I saw a man escorted out of the room
    After winning a greenback landslide.
    I found out later that he'd been 'counting,'
    An illegal sin per the owner's whim-
    He'd simply learned how to win the game
    And for that they were punishing him.

    So playing to win isn't always OK,
    It depends on whose making the rules.
    And though we were taught that smart figuring counts
    Casinos are clearly not schools.
    Not in the usual sense, at least,
    Where knowledge is used to achieve-
    At least when it comes to playing Blackjack
    If you can win, you are invited to leave.

    It doesn't seem fair and it doesn't seem right
    That winning is a breach of the rules,
    The Casino owners and their silver-spoon progeny
    Must attend very different schools.
    More like the ones politicians populate,
    Where laws and rules protect themselves
    From losing their power, wealth or esteem
    Should we happen to earn a few bucks by our work
    That threatens their fat with some lean.

    A gambler I have never been, but I do know how to count,
    And should I stumble up to that velvety green-
    I'd use it to balance those accounts.
    Casino owners and politicians.
