Vegas

Tomorrow tastes like broken hearts Pickling in a Las Vegas casino One more card For shame But the dog is at home with fleas And there's no work on Saturdays No play either Just roomfuls of laundry And an eviction notice Drunken crying counts as a disturbance Bras don't hang on doorknobs Or even women for that matter It's a cold, lonely kitchen And the forks are all rusted Two in the morning No windows The man a chair over Just took off his wedding band And the barmaid stopped refills

Well penned for a grim image of LV that is awfully sad when people hit bottom. Congrats on your win, Carissa.
