Rewrite:

Purchased Desires

In a place where bold and old
Rules the day.
And everything catches the eye
From golf clubs to bonsai
A place that stimulates with
A touch of fire
Blazing in fiendish desire
Where dicker is the name of the game and
When you succeed
You are never the same.
A candy shop of galleries a
Place of intrigue
Without the calories
Where you surrender to touch me
Want me buy me.
All in a jumble, fumble and gaggle
A chess game
Where the art is in the haggle
And the foil parries
Avarice, greed, craving, lust and obsession
The treasure is up for bid and
Touché is the ID
A sensory overload
And if you ask of what and where
Then you have never been there.

Nan heads for Vegas, and I got the impression of either a huge garage sale or a lovely auction with bids by raised hand....but whatever, it was a joy to read!
