CASINO
Many go to the Casino
But are not satisfied with only playing Keno.
*
The spectacle and glamour
Has captured those that clamour.
*
Every movement and attraction
Has been captured on the camera’s action.
*
Many are attracted by the Big WIN!
Only to find it was just a whim.
*
People come from far and near
Some drinking Champaign, while others just a beer.
*
There is no rhyme or reason
Why their luck is not in season.
*
The bouncing dice,rolling balls and spinning wheel sprockets
Eyes dancing in their sockets, fingers twitching in their pockets.
*
Many end up broke and pathetic
But for others their numbers are prophetic.
*
The lure of easy money, the glitter and lights
Has left many bewildered, blighted and tight.
*
The money is pushed down that slot
Many wonder and gaze at that lot.
*
Some strike lucky and win Big, with a scream and a shout!
But most are losers feeling down and out.
*
Money makes money, this is true
But going to the Casino can make you feel real blue!
I play tong-its if you don't know that I'll tech you. This is a good reminder. In gambling there is only 1% chance of winning the rest for losing. Keep writing.
So true. Thats why I don't gamble. What am I talking about I have no money to gamble. Thx
I work in a casino, and this poem really hits home. I see people everyday putting their entire paychecks into machines or down at the tables. It is sad. People will leave young children in the hotel rooms (and we have even found a few just sitting in locked cars late at night) while they play for hours. Old people will go the bathroom all over themselves and just keep on playing. (this is all true) Your poem was very well written and very true to the lifestyle, I think later I will have to go check out some more of your work! Keep writing, you seem to have a real flair for it.
I've never been to the casino so I can't relate, lol. Of course, I know what it's like though :). The last two lines were appropriately described. Brilliant... Woe to the losers! lol.
