How Sweet It Is--Well, Was
The greatest windfall payday of my life,
bar none, was when I won the lottery.
My l00 grand would help me reach my dreams
for years to come. I moved from Rocky Road
to grand Fifth Avenue. I vowed, “I’ll live,
both now and later, like a king. I’m owed
paid leave from work. My bosses, all those nerds,
will envy me. I’ll take 5 trips this year
with two close friends; three musketeers we’ll be!”
***********************
The third trip ended my wild spending spree.
I’m back at work. I’ve mounds of past-due bills
and zero balance from my last year’s win,
but while it lasted—I HAD SUCH A BLAST!
