Vegas

A busy street speaks loudly in vain

As gamblers rush to achieve gain

But are ill gained riches easy to attain

In a vicarious city that flows champagne

Down boulevards of rabid visitors on cocaine

Casinos exist for the purpose to retain

As much money as is possible to drain

From the pockets of those who remain

In a fantasy of riches that is the domain

Of an industry that is eager to entertain

Those who are accustomed to the mundane

My sketch is based on a photo I took quite some time ago.
