Vegas 2000

Year 2000 early spring,

I was staying in

the “City of Sin”.

Staying in hotel

called the “Stratosphere”,

I went to the top,

and looked down with fear.

Now I heard Tom Cruise

took the sky jump down,

I’m afraid of heights,

I don’t want to break my crown,

better to walk around the town.

We walked down the stip,

looking at all things hip,

like the Treasure Island ship.

That was some kind of a show,

a spectacular in itself

with things a glow.

Now many sights we did see,

like 2 parrots flying to their

masters as pretty as can be.

All good things do come to an end,

I had to get back home with my friend.

A baby was crying on the plane

now my birthday was that very day.

I gave her my doll Melodie,

she stopped crying but wouldn’t

give her back to me.

So I played to her like Melodie

needed to sleep by counting sheep,

she then smiled and gave me a wink.

That little incident made my trip,

I should put into a cartoon strip.
