A Dollar Will Do

You can not win if you do not play. Is what the gambler will always say. One in a million. A dollar will do. To win it would be quite a coup. For Susan Burch's limerick contest.

REvisiting your humorous limerick, Robert. That was quite funny what you said about not being able to let your hair down!

I bought one ticket and never won so didn't do it again. Thanks for you kind words on the book Robert.
