"The Gorean" (Author unknown). A Goreanised version of the "Gambler" (Can supply words if requested)
Please do old friend. I know the origional and it would be interesting to see the goreanised version

The Gorean
On a warm summer evening, on a kaiila bound for nowhere,
I met up with a Gorean, we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns at staring at the darkness form the fire
‘Till bordom over took him and he began to speak.
He said: “Son I’ve made a life out of reading people’s faces
And knowing what their skills were by the way they held their eyes
Now if you don’t mind me sayin, I think your out of aces,
And for a taste of your Paga, I’ll give you some advise.”
I handed him my bota and he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed some kandada and stared out into the night
The Night grew deathly quiet, then he turned back to the fire
He said: “If you want to play the game boy, you better learn to play it right.”
“You gota know when to hold em and know when to slice em.
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You don’t count your kills when your sitting at the fire
Time enough for counting when the drinking is done.”
“Every Rarius knows that the key to his survival.
Is to know what to through away and to know what to keep.
For every Kavar is a winner and every Tochuk is a looser
And the best you can hope for is a slave at your feet.”
When he finishes talking, he turned back t’ward the fire,
Spat out his kandada and drifted off to sleep.
Somewhere in the darkness, the Gorean, he broke even
And from his words, I found an ace that I could keep.
“You gota know when to hold em and know when to slice em.
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You don’t count your kills when your sitting at the fire
Time enough for counting when the drinking is done.”
