Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

A Tip For the Strip

If you are planning to take a Las Vegas trip,
and you are headed for this town’s famed Strip,
then I will give you a great tip.
This is a place which is a desert oasis.
Nowhere in the country is there a city like this.
They call it the “playground of America”.
Here you will see an Eiffel Tower replica.
There is a big lion waiting on the side.
A sphinx and pyramids have nothing to hide.
There is even a very active volcano.
In between all of these are many a casino.
There is one serious fact that is not a bit funny.
These joints are all out to separate you from your money.
Whether you are a daytime person, or an all-nighter,
you will return home with a wallet a little lighter.
Just put some money away, and don’t take it out.
You will be enjoying yourselves without a doubt.

Ray Dillard September 19, 2012 at 5:27 PM I've always wanted to go to Vegas, but with closed wallet and open eyes. Thanks for pointing out the spelling mistake in my poem. I think maybe everyone was reading the content and emotion of so few lines and just overlooked it like me. Keep up the good work! RAY

Connie Marcum Wong September 19, 2012 at 5:23 PM Great way to describe this enchanted city. I don't go to gamble, just to sight see. It is a fun place to visit, and now has lots for kids to do too. I enjoyed this.
