A Bug That Gets a Boo

My sporting parlay tickets are locked away 
In the draw where they will stay 
Due to a bug  
That stopped the world from giving a hug
With nothing on the Las Vegas Sports Book board 
Not even a score 
Tables and slots are still there
If that is one’s fare 
 Of course for short term fun 
A quick fetish that in a few seconds the life savings could be done 
There are many televisions around this desert oasis social place 
That will be turned to rhetoric programs that build the bug’s terroristic case 
Repeats of sporting exhibitions 
That were played by one’s own decision 
Are also being broadcast
To remind fans of the past 
Leaving the dice and cards behind, 
Off to the beach and its sunshine
Won’t be back
Until the Starship Troopers are done with their attack  
Kill them bugs was the cinema state mint 
Maybe the masses will take the hint 
Eradicate the Corona fear 
Then Have that Mexican beer 
Then enjoy the nice feeling of cheer.
