Genetic Lottery Wheel

Genetic Lottery Wheel Playing the genetic lottery wheel taking another spin Hoping it will pass me by but I always seem to win Placed around the wheel various illnesses and diseases Addictions, mood swings or joints that ache or freezes Diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis Thank God I haven’t hit the one with tuberculous Just the other day I was lucky to hit fibromyalgia On the genetic wheel even has a place for nostalgia I know this isn’t an illness or disease but cruelty I believe They give you a quick glance back on how it use to be The wheel keeps growing and more is added each day But everyone has their own wheel with its own display We can’t choose if we win or lose or what we will get But maybe you will be lucky and hit the flu or night sweats Good Luck!!
