Poetry about Las Vegas and (unfortunately) my favourite basketball team

Las Vegas had a blizzard yesterday.
One local joked hell had finally frozen over.
They say with snow powdering its black glass pyramid,
the Luxor looked like an ash mountain.
Snow weighed down on all the palms like a curse from Jesus.
I change channels
where thunder in Oklahoma can look good
when dinosaurs from Canada play against it.
The Thunder from Oklahoma
is the worst the world's ever seen, they say.
Yet tonight it brings a second Cretaceous destruction.
Maybe the dinosaurs will go home and win the lottery again
and not blow their winnings this time.
