"Rules and Bets" Inspired by Sixteen Scandals:

Rules and Bets

Rules and me

are pretty tight.

We like understanding

what the expectations are

and filling them

to the best of our abilities.

Rules are meant to keep us safe.

Rules are meant to guide us.

Rules are meant to keep order.

Maybe you were hoping

for different age-old “rules are meant” saying,

but I don’t think it’s true.

Occasionally, rules get broken --

like the one I broke

in my opening line.

But just because it sounds good,

just because it might look better,

doesn’t mean that it was right

to break the rule.

Not all consequences are foreseeable.

if you break the rule,

all bets are off.
