Deep Thought: Twenty Spot

TWENTY SPOT

Back in Vegas, I spent my rent on the girl from next door;

We had a good time, she passed out on the floor.

As I came to the next morning, I just didn't care;

She kicked me in the head, so I drugg her out by the hair!

Now focusing my dilemma, my rent was due at dawn;

All my money was gone, needed something to pawn.

Had my old CD player, let's give this a shot;

Didn't get quite what I thought, a measly twenty spot...

So, off to the casinos, the Sahara, Double-Down Blackjack to 40;

Was kicked out for counting cards, by a Pit Boss named Shorty.

Then to the Desert Inn, back and forth to 165;

Changing tables, Double-Deck Shoe, was all that kept me alive!

At the Frontier I played two spots, came out with a 350 split;

Scratching my head, didn't know if I should stay or quit?

So, 10 hours later, left the Riviera with a cool 720;

Couldn't believe how I managed to win all this money.

So, I paid my rent, still scratching my head;

Been 24 hours since I had been to bed.

And I had a dream, of how God will provide;

And for our sins, his only Son had died.

That my luck with the gambling wasn't me;

He gave me a Gaming Pass, he heard my plea!

So, now I'm straight, no Gaming on my plate, I learned a lot;

When God turned me around with a Twenty Spot!
