Leigh Haynes Poet Rhyme

I almost tossed it out

Six numbers on the screen 
I am sure they look familiar 
The birthdays of loved ones
Chosen to make it simpler 
I look again and rub my eyes
I'm sure there is no doubt 
But where is the ticket? 
Have i tossed it out?

My husband coming home from work
Is shocked to hear my news
We've got the winning numbers
Although we may just lose 
I don't know where the ticket is
My husband starts to scout 
Where did you last have it?
I must have tossed it out!

Bewildered I retrace my steps
And think of where I've been 
Just as I give up all hope
I find it in the bin
The crumpled ticket found
I start to scream and shout
A luxurious life awaits me
To think I almost tossed it out!!
