Been to Las Vegas <br />Couldn’t believe my eyes <br />Searing heat and slot machines <br />Took me by surprise. <br /> <br />Oh, I knew that they would be there <br />Nothing more safe to say, <br />But that I could touch and feel them <br />Took my breath away. <br /> <br />Right at this very moment <br />Ten thousand machines at play <br />Neon lights flashing brightly <br />In the middle of the day <br /> <br />I feel so very humble <br />That I had the chance <br />To walk along the Sunset Strip <br />Watch rainbow waters dance. <br /> <br />An unforgettable experience <br />I wish I could repeat. <br />To step out there just one more time <br />Along that amazing street. <br /> <br />Do people really live there? <br />That city of renown. <br />While I am safely back at home <br />In an English seaside town. <br /> <br />Been to Las Vegas <br />Couldn’t believe my eyes <br />Searing heat and slot machines <br />Took me by surprise.<br /><br />Lindsey Priest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/las-vegas/
