The Charge Of Chezger Brigade (With apologies to Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
Memorializing Events in the Battle of Las Vegas, April 2008
Half a brain half a brain,
Half a brain between them,
All in the valley of Vegas
Rode the six hunted:
"Forward, the Chezger Brigade!
Charge for the tables" he said:
Into the valley of Vegas
Rode the six hunted.
"Forward, the Chezger Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay"d ?
Not tho" the dealer knew
Some one had blunder"d:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but raise, call or die,
Into the valley of Vegas
Rode the six hunted.
Shogun to right of them,
Slider to left of them,
Technolog in front of them
Duke & Dan350 thunder"d;
RichEo at cash and ringing the bell,
Boldly they played and well,
Into the flops of Death,
Into the raises from Hell
Rode the six hunted.
Flush"d all their cards bare,
Flush"d as they turn"d nowhere
Raising the eejits there,
Charging a casino while
All the world wonder"d:
Plunged in the cigarette-smoke
Right thro" the line they broke;
American & Canadian
Reel"d from the master-stroke,
Shatter"d & sunder"d.
Then they sat back, but not
Not the six hunted.
Shogun to right of them,
Slider to left of them,
Technolog in front of them
Duke & Dan350 thunder"d;
RichEo at cash and ringing the bell,
While one or two of them fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro" the jaws of Vegas,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hunted.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild plays they made!
All the world wonder"d.
Honour the trip they made!
Honour the Chezger Brigade,
Noble six hunted!
