Just wishin'...better to go though fishin'...

The Lottery…


 


I spend five bucks twice a week,


Wish do I that I could once get what I seek,


Not much do I want; little do I need,


Just enough to live out my life and keep Rufuz in feed…


 


Believe me when I say,


I am not complainin’, no way,


My life has been quite good,


At least I realize where I have stood…


 


But just once would be nice,


To hit for a million or twice,


To be able to travel the country,


Would be of heaven a slice…


 


I play the quick pick,


If I had numbers that were special,


Use them I would, maybe that would do the trick,


I am not in anyway of the world I have created, sick,


Just want to try something different before I do the bucket kick…
