Las Vegas:Pigeon's Paradise

Las Vegas, Pigeon’s Paradise! At the Angel Park Golf and Country Club The pigeons sported neck scarves Of iridescent iris, white and blue As they hoped with expectations Around divots in the turf, Now filled with sand and seed By a golfer's hand And side-eyed morsels with Tilting beaks in obvious delight Seemingly in agreement That heaven had dropped Here. Pigeon’s paradise! At the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino The people sported lewd t-shirts Of sexual slangs or comic twangs As they hoped and smoked with expectations That gurgled and beeped As neon lights flashed numbers, Slots filled with flashing icons By a tycoon’s hand Yanked and cranked handles Seemingly in agreement That heaven had to drop Here. People’s price!
