Premium Member Keep Trying Like a Fool

You appear this way every time the chips are down.
You throw a temper tantrum and act like a clown.
Fools believe they can win each time they play.
Join the losers.  It is the same thing every day.

Loss of money is not an abnormality.
Who do you think pays for this grand facility?
Décor like crystal chandeliers come at a price.
To gamblers who lose, I know that does not sound nice.

Sometimes a big win gives you thrill of victory.
Enjoy it while you can, it is temporary.
All that you may win, and some more, will be returned.
This is how the greater part of players are burned.

Cards, dice, wheels, horses, no matter what you try,
they will have you in the long run until you die.

Premium Member The Demise of Hotel Upson

Thick cloudy sky filled with tears__woe
Crying at the swiftly passing era
No more old generation__new day
The passage into a modern time

A time all its own with difference
Whole set of problems separates it
From times that have gone by but yet__same
History tends to repeat itself

Demise of Hotel Upson brought thought
A time of reflection to many
To some joy that ugly eye sore__gone
Others landmark history removed

Today in America there is 
A church or more on every street
Evil, lawlessnes, drugs on the beats
Gangs, violence, road rage, and much more

It seems times like when the Hotel raised
Back in Nineteen twenty eight are gone 
A simple time when families, friends
Was an important part of the plan

That hotel was built solid and strong
Built to withstand the test of hard times
Who would have thought its hey-day would end
With a track-hoe beating its walls in

Its architecture was a simple 
Design Georgian Revival Style of
Red brick trimmed in limestone best in day
Had a ballroom, elevators, air

No matter it is no longer there
Gone forever to C&D landfill
No even sold to reuse the parts
That made it the best in its day__gone
