astronomical odds they may be
cross your fingers for good luck
get into the groove, into the rhythm
spin hoping for a winfall or free games
spin to hear those bells go crazy
spin for a major hit to cash out

that jackpot has your name on it
somebody's got to win
it might as well be you
adrenalin pumping
get those lights flashing
let crowds gather 'round

Joe and I did this a bit in a little town bordering Nevada and Utah. Can't think of the place name. Anyway, I find gambling becomes boring over time and it ruins the lives of those who become obsessed with it! I always went for the buffets and lounge singers!

lol ~ it's been a while since my late husband and I visited Las Vegas. I came across an old draft we had worked on together and finished the poem...
