LAS VEGAS
Daphne needed to be here for a four day seminar,
And I joined her to drive here by car.
In Las Vegas for a long time I had not been
And the back roads drive here was beautiful and serene.
But my forehead turned into a deep frown…
Seeing the masses of people in this town.
I have travelled a lot…
But seeing something similar I have not.
People come from all over the world hoping to win
And newcomers are dazzled where to begin.
Two eyes are not enough
To see all this promotional stuff.
Cash you no longer need
To gamble, shop or eat.
People believe they can win
As long as they remember their debit card pin.
Then they are told-it is best
To use their a credit card to pay the rest.
It is interesting to see this show
Of people that come and go.
Since my last visit the dress code went
Some people dress like they have spend their last cent.
Besides, for seeing a good show, I will never understand
What draws people to the corner of this land.
Tonight we will see…
A show of Donny and Marie
On Thursday we will hear the voice…
Of the Jersey boys.
Tomorrow I travel by bus
To escape the rest of this rush
Because for me…
It is the Grand Canyon I rather see
