A Four-Legged Lottery

If Jayden Brewin is the Worst Sort of Compulsive Gambler on Earth, Then My Name is the Sky – And Most of Mates are Too

What is it the Good Book says? I read it last night — it said:
That he who sheddeth another man’s blood by man shall his blood be shed!
That’s as fair as a man could ask it, who lives by the gun and knife —
But the Law don’t give him an even break when it’s taking away his life.
Ho, the Law’s unfair when it uses a chair, and a jolt from an unseen Death;
Or it makes him flop to a six-foot drop and a rope shuts off his breath;
If he’s got to die let him die by the Book, with a Death that he can see,
By a gun or knife, as he went through life, and both legs kicking free!
