If I Were Rich $$$
By Kathy Armijo


 


Today, I sit and dream about what I’d do
If I won the lottery.


Of course Uncle Sam would get his share.
Do that first, get him outa’ my hair,
Right after I change my phone number.


If I had all this money,
I’d move to sunny shores,
Get someone else to do my chores.
Enjoy “The Life of Riley.”


Of course,
I’d share the wealth.
Set-up a research fund.
Open a loving home for the orphaned.
Put money aside for the grandkid’s college.


Then, I’d take care of my health –
            Get that facelift and a tummy tuck.
Now, no more driving a pick-up truck.
Drive an Alfa Romeo or Porsche.  Live in wealth.


I’d love to continue this dream,
But it seems I’ve forgotten one thing.
I need to buy a lottery ticket!

Gotta' get that lottery ticket; you never know! Yet I don't play it; too many times people lose, I don't want to go through that. Very well penned; love it!

LOLOL, I never buy one either. And yet sussex all only scored a small total, i told me mum they'd make great lottery numbers, she told me to put them on.... and blimey they came in, thing is i never took the marked ticket, and for some insane reason i felt glad, what would i have done with £17 million, too money is an obstacle to real living, i'd rather be rich with friends etc, than a bank balance and false mates......

Too cute and too real for though we all often have that dream a lot of us, myself included fail to do just that. Perhaps the winning is in the dream itself.

without a ticket you don't have to worry about whether the wealth would change you.
