Topic: Trouble in Paradise
"Casino"
"4000$" I said pushing the chips with both hands into the table's center The Stickman asked the remaining players to make their wages and place their bets as I grew inpatient with splendor. I had on my famous smoking jacket. The beige polyester, with the faded letters... Champaign sprayed everybody in the table in the face in a display of pleasure. The cowboy sitting across the table from me, took his hat off and rang the leather And then flipped everybody off the middle finger in a graceless gesture The lush, green, felt table became a damp surface of weighted texture That slowed down the numerical cubes, which delayed our endeavors The table was roped off, as it dried, we waited for inspectors, The board was playable and after a few minutes, we all estimated our ventures. A swanky dresser at the end of the table was the tenacious aggressor As snake eyes bounced off the wall, player after player surrendered. It was his night and his hand was simply sensationally stellar As the tiny dice hit the big table like courageous tremors Somebody had entered the game that only played once and needed an enumeration refresher After explaining the rules of the game, this person passed out and had to be taken on a stretcher While this was happening, I reached into my smoker jacket, shameless and clever. While the commotion on the casino floors had the attention of the surveillance detectors The fake heart attack was planned, and the man was compensated with cheddar The Cowboy complained about the delay of game to the waitress, the waiters, and vendors, basically whoever As order was restored, the cowboy cooled down his outrageous temper Easy four Fever five Ace deuce The dice flew out of my hand in contagious trifecta As I shook the dice up in my lucky hands like a vibrating blender Every toss was premeditated and measured, "20,000" I said over the anticipating appraise from the hecklers The stickman signalled something was up to the stationed teller As dice careened off the board, decorated and checkered. "100,000" I said raising the stakes as another Casino Agent Member Grabbed the dice from my hand, before I could roll them - shaven and denser He gave me a lecture and said if I thought about collecting, 'I wouldn't bank on it better' As security guards escorted me out of the building and I was banned from Las Vegas Forever
