At the Casino

     lizardly he slithers in
         nursing his sloe glass of gin

     lightning flashing from his eyes
         functioning to disguise

     who and what he really is
         rolling pairs of snake-eyes

     in the air a venomous hissing
         is there something I am missing

Nope, I think you caught him in his disguise. Fun poetry to read this evening. Have a great week, my friend. Bill
