My Win

This time! I thought! I must be the winner, Each week I waited for the results, My joy always faded quickly, Turning into sorrow, But today was my lucky day, All my dreams had come true, A lottery win! I was so excited and ecstatic, All the times expectation let me down, Really came through for me this time, I was awarded the cheque, Fifty million pounds, Chance of a life time, I laughed all the way to the bank, First things first! A makeover, Well I’m famous now! Got to look beautiful! Hair! Face! Nails and dress, News reporter wrote articles, Pictures taken, From rags to riches they said, My story told, I was noticed! People were envious, From that moment on! I was changed, I spoke and people listened, I was the person to be with, The house! Lifestyle, and holidays, Meals out! Socialising, The old ways were gone, Far in the past, No regrets! Then! I woke up, To my surprise! All a dream, I screamed with realisation, Instantly! All was gone, Back to reality, Wished it had been true. I’ll buy a ticket tomorrow, Share it with you, Really! 03/07/2016 Tell a tall tale competition Sponsor Jesse Day
