Atlantic City

Let me at those one armed bandits...
Pull the lever...
Watch it roll...
Win a fortune... Lose a pension...
Let fly with another spin.

Place a bet and pray for seven...
Toss the dice into the pit.
Snake eyes stare back at your wallet
As you drop another fin.

Roulette table hypnotizes,
Play a number... Black or red.
As the clicking wheel winds down,
You order up another gin.

Lucky blackjack is the ticket.
Bet the farm on twenty-one.
Just another foolish gamble
As you take it on the chin.

Strolling out onto the boardwalk,
Empty hands for company.
Thinking, "Next time, maybe next time
It will be my turn to win".
