| Texas Hold 'er Down |
 |
 |
After
a road trip to Vegas, it has been universally
declared by the residents of Nevada that I am
no longer allowed to gamble.
|
|
|
Under
the blonde hair and girlish demeanour, lies a slot machine
tugging whore who can only count up to twenty-one, whose
aces are always high and whose dice fly across tables
whilst the other hand cradles a vodka-tonic and swears
like a trooper.
I blame poker. What started as a harmless hand turned into a war of the worlds where first my money, then my dog, and finally my dignity were all bet, and lost. In what I can only assume was a strange twist of fate, my clothes remained on my body.
