Champagne Corks and Ticker Tape

Champagne Corks and Ticker Tape

How I hate those online gaming Ad’s,
Promoting responsible gambling and care.
Selling happy networks and a social event,
When really, they’re peddling despair.

Champagne corks and ticker tape,
Fun and laughter with new found friends.
Don’t get caught in this clever machine,
It may well break you in the end.

Yippee, five million in prizes every day,
They can afford it cos they reel in fifteen.
So, please don’t go to the party,
A party on your own, desperate and unseen.

Truly there is a stark contrast between what they peddle and what ya get! Your poem is like a split screen of the two. :)
