PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I always get antsy

when I’m in a casino

I don’t wanna lose

all my money

in a stupid slot machine

I’d much rather

sit in a bar

and watch TV

and drink draft beer

take in a ball game

and pound down

brew after brew

until the sun goes down

I see the lights

and glitter of the casino

and I’d much rather

go to a concert

and drink and smoke dope

I’d rather grab a meal

at a Chinese restaurant

and roll the dice

and see snake eyesw

I’d much rather

gamble away my life

in an entirely

different manner than that
