A Pennsylvania Trap

Nestled in Pennsylvania mountains is where the crowd goes.
It is one of several hotels located in the Poconos.
They have comfortable rooms and a very grand casino.
There are slot machines and table games many people know.
With so many ways you can make a bet,
they have poker, baccarat, craps, blackjack, and roulette.
However, this is a move many suckers will regret.
Who do you think pays for this grand facility?
Don’t you know this house thrives on losers’ money?
They take advantage of any fool’s gullibility.
This is just another money trap that is closer to home.
Give it a second thought before you decide to roam.
