The Neon Snare

The Neon Lady and

the Neon Knight

taking in the

neon sites

All dressed up

to go downtown

Hail a Cab

to get around

Play the slots

on Fremont Street

Stay inside

to avoid the heat

Watch a show

and stiff the waiter

Promising to

catch him later

Find a slot

that won't stop paying

Forget the time

and keep on playing

The Neon Lady

and the Neon Knight

Have to rush

to catch their flight

Almost miss it

but have no fear

They'll be back

to do it next year

This is a tribute to what used to happen in Las Vegas.  It is now difficult to find any machine that "pays,"  and people come, bring their kids, look at all the big buildings, pay a big price for a hotel room and go to Disneyland the next year.
