one more chance

how many chances do we get
at the carnival.
the ball into the slot,
or ring
onto the hoop.
how many chances do we
get to swing the hammer
to make the bell
ring.
how many chances do we
get at spinning the wheel,
guessing black or red,
the table, with cards
and dice.
how many times can we ask,
for one more chance.
one more roll
one more time at throwing
our money down
on the winning horse,
just one more would
be suffice.
