Hiding in the shadows- <br />Are The Casino's <br />Painting a Neon Desert Sight <br /> ...In search of that <br /> ...Proverbial 'Pot O' Gold' <br />Come the rainbow seekers <br />Towards glittered lights. <br />It's a Gamblers Paradise, <br /> ...Money Throwers- <br />A Utopia for Risk takers - <br />With its cha-chinging - <br /> ...Background Ambience - <br />And the Corporate Money Makers! ! <br />Casting a lure, into the bright lights - <br /> ...Where green paper <br /> ...Burns its holes <br />In the pockets of the slot addicted <br />The inner core of the Gamblers Soul! <br />Black Jack and Roulette - <br /> ...Craps, a roll of the dice - <br /> ...Place your bet on numbers <br />It's just a mild sort of vice...? ? <br />For, it is a fact of life - <br />That the House most always wins - <br /> ...Leaving some of the loosers - <br /> ...Bankrupt and in despair - <br />And The Casino Owners, With Big Grins!<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/casablanca/
