Vegas Craps

Vegas Craps

Showgirls dance at noon;
Over Sin City hangs the moon,
On the strip I cruise.
 
One-armed bandits shine;
Wayne Newton lights up the night,
Flying Elvis' dine
 
Tigers start to leap;
Sun shines as tired gamblers sleep,
Buffet patrons eat.
 
Call girls dream of fun;
Neon fuels the Vegas sun,
Hustler's on the run.
 
Black Jack Baby hides,
Bugsy Siegel's paradise,
Cheaters pay the price.
 
Rat Pack waves goodbye;
Morning drained our pockets dry,
On the road I cry.

I know the feeling. It's quite a trap for many; however, it's such fun. Welcome to Poetry Soup. Great job! Joseph
