Nonsense Thing

Nonsense Thing

As the noise creeps in
And the smoke poisons the air
The electronic machine sings a tune:
Fish out  a  Franklin, fish out a Franklin!
Into the tempting slot
Voraciously eats the green away
Disappears!

Push the button, push the button!
What a delight,  winner in the first few rounds.
They cannot stop,  hoping the next one is always a win ,win
But the next round is a lose, lose!
Until time to fish out  Franklin again
Into the tempting slot
Voraciously eats the green away
Disappears!

Win! Win! but in the end
It is a Lose! Lose!
Gambling is the most nonsensical thing  to do ever!
