FRONT DESK

FRONT DESK

By Roger A. Davis

Up to the Front Desk I go again this week
It’s made of granite, I think, not teak
Staff signs me in with complimentary accommodations
This is why I choose Prairie Band above other locations

You see, I drive 165 miles in my gas hog
I couldn’t afford to run up the fuel log
If it wasn’t for their comps
I wouldn’t be able to go on these gaming romps

Though they may be busy day and night
They’re never snobbish or uptight
They make your trip a pleasant stay
Even if, for the room, you don’t pay

Valet service is my first stop
Then, there is my bud, Stan the Bellhop
Dennis with the Jayhawk tattoo
Is a great asset through and through

Dan the Man gets my vehicle late at night
I tip him well, I hope – my wheelchair is not light
All your staff welcomes me as "Mr. Davis" or "sir"
But at the tables, it’s “Roger” or a good natured slur

Prairie Band, my second home where I'm a resident
And I truly enjoy tipping and the money spent
Yes, sometimes I win a little pot or a few
And hit some Blackjacks instead of twenty-two

I’d like to mention the unsung crews
Housekeeping deserves special dues
You leave your room astrewn
Yet, returning, it’s fit as a fiddle, like a new tune

Security and Maintenance I’m not leaving out
In fact, they came to my rescue upon my shout
On my way to the spa, my wheelchair did tip
They righted me and my ship, I signed a waiver slip

Know this, Potawatomi Prairie Band Casino and Resort
Because of your kindness, I would never go to court
On your questionnaires, you score an excellent report
As for food, service and fun – you never come up short
