Notes About The Poem

If I Won the Lottery

I used to say if I won the lottery, I would buy a big church for my Dad.
But that country preacher has gone to glory, and now has a mansion for his pad.
For my Mother I would buy a big house, and a brand new car.
She would have servants, a grand piano, and a gold guitar.

I would have no trouble finding a suitable date.
But they would have to be screened, or get stopped at the gate.
My ex would come running, but I would tell him, “Not a chance.”
What the heck, I would buy him a house too, but there would be no romance.

I would travel, and go dancing each night with a new man,
With no worries or cares, except for working on my tan.
I would own at least ten dogs in my country estate,
And they would have their own nanny, and eat off a silver plate.

Maybe I would tire of champagne and caviar, and dancing til sunrise,
And if so, I would go off to McDonald’s for a Big Mac and french fries.
I would have my own driver, and a giant motorhome.
I would be camping in luxury...and in the 50 states I would roam.

Jan Allison July 14, 2016 at 10:20 AM I don't aspire to have material wealth - after my husband's cancer you evaluate what is really important and that is your health and its something money simply cannot buy - would love money to travel but as for big houses its not for me lol:-) hugs Jan xx Brenda Mcgrath July 14, 2016 at 10:28 AM I buy a ticket once in awhile, but I don't pin my hopes on actually winning. But it is fun to imagine what to do with it if I did win, especially doing things for family. You are right, you can't buy the important things in life.
