welcome to Las Vegas
welcome to Las Vegas
so says the signboard
and also says the King
how very inviting, marvelous
a grand entrance to heaven's name
we are having fun and we are thrilled
Viva Las Vegas!
a jalopy to take me there
in bright orange when new
could still remember the smell
a new car brings
if we play our cards right
we might just come back home
in place of the old faithful of a jalopy
in a new flaming Ferrari
Viva Las Vegas!
driving through shrub country
nice and easy
one can never know
lady luck may shine!
this time!

Viva Las Vegas ~~~ your poem is a delight!
ReplyDeleteNot use them! Quite the twist and you rose to the occasion.
ReplyDeleteAh Lady Luck. Always a bit fickle.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the challenge words. Lady Luck is sure to reward you once you arrive at the Great Peraps, city of dreams.
ReplyDeleteSo much hope on the way to Vegas....and, likely, some people leave pretty disappointed, no Ferrari. Smiles. I enjoyed this, Hank.
