Lotto and Gambling Compared

I find little wrong with lotto. They don’t play it in a grotto: Hotels and parks lovers go to; Camera free with its photo, On some scene of play priest’s motor. He knew where the rivers flow to... Or should we fault the lotto: It make a thing to say “No” to? An airplane to stop its rotor? Then, it is igneous-hard: your motto! The lotto not like marked gambling, For which you dropped not keys jangling, Later on some walls fists banging; For evening up of scores angling. Hopes of gain rule the mind in both But gamblers lots of feared laws quote: Risk consciousness less in lotto, Gambling: frequent site in ghetto. Afford lotto guys could child’s smile While few things gamblers stretch a mile: You love gambling, you love some gun; Mad gambler takes along his son... So, what little wrong has lotto? There are holier games to cling to.
