It's a Dog's Life

The old man playing knick-knack

Had started playing with number one

And seemed to be on a run

He was with his dog Lassie

Who, while in an innocent roam

Had brought to the old man

What seemed to be

A perfectly ordinary bone

 

Holding bone, he knick-knacked to two

Which had folks looking at each other

Asking,” What the hell’s he up to?”

Because nobody really knew

 

This had the casino owner getting him on camera

Having his Staff concentrate on his hands

With swindling games entering a new era

It all created endless spyware demands

 

Security personnel studying their screens

Zoomed in to his shirt pocket and jeans

But by this time the old man

Having knick-knacked up to number four

Had left his seat

And accompanied by Lassie, carrying her bone

Walked across the casino floor

 

While going from knick-knack, paddy-wack

To becoming involved with blackjack

Spyware cameras followed his fun

Until, as he sat down to play twenty-one,

Just as they had previously planned

Lassie set his doggy bone in the old man’s hand!

It seemed as tho’ the old man couldn’t lose

And while the camera’s continued their scanning views

Endless money kept on rolling in

It was an ongoing, win after win after win

With nary a sound coming from their lips

Until he and Lassie cashed in their chips

 

However, while whoopin and hollerin

Out the front door

An excited Lassie dropped the bone on the floor

And seeing a computerized bone smash into bits

Management grabbed these two cheating culprits

Later, in front of the judge, they were heard to say

“Oh, holly yikes!”

As he assigned both to the chain gang

Dressed in black and white stripes!!??!!

 

It’s a Dog’s life.

Apart from Lassie changing sex once, this is such a fine piece of early morning poetic silliness! Great way to start the day, thank you.
