It opens up its cavernous mouth
and exhales its cigar breath,
then it prepares for its next meal,
more greedy gamblers,
who are like meaty drumsticks
dreaming of finally
hitting the jackpot
and filling their huge pockets
with millions of clinking coins.
It opens its mouth and
hungrily,
gluttonously,
gobbles them up,
chewing on the tasty meat
of their fat wallets.
After swallowing their savings,
it rudely spits them out,
fleshless,
penniless,
bags of bones.
