Living off the Lottery…

Poem Artwork

To live off the lottery one must have future sight,

They must be able to see the numbers drawn,

At least one day or maybe more in advance,

Then of course it would be easy,

They’d have to then just the numbers down write…

 

Oh but you’d have to be careful for sure,

Can’t keep winning every single drawing,

Maybe one big hit once in every year,

Then you’d be just a lucky person & live without fear…

 

So much you could do with all that money,
Surely, your life would change,

Everybody you know would be your honey,

Your horizons could so far range,

To pay it forward you’d have to donate,

To everything large to small, from Cancer to the mange…

 

OH but wouldn’t that be a fun experience,

Spending money on whatever you want and,

Not having to worry about it making good sense,

From soup to nuts no more worries would one have,

But to be honest I know, for myself,

I have a better chance of seeing God in bed with me,

Please God understand this little fantasy & please take no offense…J

They moved the numbers game off the street and into the Native Americans' hands. Your chances of winning the lottery are about as good as spotting a pisshole in the snow of Antarctica! You'd be better of to invest your two dollars in the stock market.

Ed,
I think everybody has that life long dream of winning the lottery. I watch Tv shows of people thats won and now they live in mansions with swimming pools. I dream of winning too, Ed. What a difference it would make in my life. Good luck!

Blessings,

Hahahahahaha!!!! Loved the last two lines!!!! We're all in the same boat, Ed! I've been buying lottery tickets for more than 30 years and have yet to win anything significant.....but I'll hang onto the dream of what I'd do with the money if I won!!! That's the fun! Sure could make a lot of people happy.....

Hah! Yeah, I hear you, Ed. I shell out six dollars a week on Powerball, Louisiana Lottery and Pick 3. Don't plan on stopping unless I don't have the six dollars.
