LAS VEGAS



 THE SUNDAY MUSE #176



Bogged down in  dubiosity
Loaded with curiosity
Looking for a change of pace

Set your sights on tinsel town
That’s where it all goes down
A sampling of the human race

You’ll find …..

Haves and have nots
Putting quarters in the slots

High rollers and risk takers
Looking for deal makers

Lipstick and stilettos 
Escaped from the ghettos

Sightseeing farmers
Soul-seeking charmers

Jaded entertainers
Star-spangled gamers

Moustachioed sinners 
and clever tale-spinners
all looking for an easy mark


We’ll set our sights on Vegas
whichever way will take us
Surely they’ll all be there.

  1. Never been to Vegas, but now I know what to expect! You capture a sordid glamour in the 'sampling of the human race.'

  2. I believe you enumerated each and every one of them. Perfectly. [except for Carl and Mom who are celebrating his 60th birthday there next month]

  8. Fun, Beverly. Mrs. Jim puts a Dollar$ to play the slot machine so she can sit down for a while when waiting for the rest of us.

  9. Vegas draws in all kinds of people. Sin City described perfectly.
