The Lottery
A lottery ticket? No, not for me
Me, I never win
...But with a jackpot so high, not to buy one would be a sin
I'm starting to dream; expectations are high.
to what far away places would I first fly?
Of course I would help the poor and the needy, after all I'm not that greedy
There'll be new houses for me and my family, college tuition would be like buying candy.
It's finally here. today is the day
the drawing is just moments away
there-the first number rolls
-no its not the one.still some more to come.
No, they're no hit either.
What a waste.
