Jackpot

I dreamt of numbers on jackpot tracks

Sold my watch to buy hundreds of bucks

   For gooey lotto dream spin

   And proclaimed I was all in...

Won five bonus dollars, boy that sucks!

Many speculate to accumulate Princess Nette, and many fail to achieve this. Koolio Limerick, good luck in the contest. Have a lovely weekend, and thank you for your congrats on "Inlets & Islands" :)

Ha, ha now that's funny! You thought my poem was funny, now this poem is really it! Spending hundreds of dollars just to win five dollars! Now that's the jackpot! I know all about that bad luck! I've never been a lucky man! Oh well! Great Work!!

Lottery tickets are the biggest betting long shots anybody can take. That is why groups of people (usually co-workers) pool their money and buy large numbers of tickets. If they have a winner, they split the amount evenly among themselves. Good limerick.
