THE MOMENT
"Impossible!" Bob wrote.
"I won't make it on time."
He added to the note.
"I've spent my last dime.
I planned to win this thing."
"I celebrated; maybe
somewhat prematurely.
I went on the town for fun
and depleted all my funds."
I paid for everything
in cash and a la carte."
Bob was proud of his smarts.
"Give my win to Bob Guinn.
He deserves the prize wallet."
"Eight more to forfeit."
