S.Jagathsimhan Nair Poet Limerick

Lottery Ticket 1

Long back, a lottery ticket, I bought
Won a small sum which was lucky I thought
I boarded a bus with that cash
Lost five times that win in a flash
To a pickpocket, which left me distraught.


For: Susan Burch’s Lottery ticket limerick contest,  6 Jan 11
