Rags To Riches

Looking around at others
Pure envy is what i see,
They have beautiful things
For its hand downs for me.

I want a new career
But what am i to do,
I have no real experience
At least compaired to you.

My clothes have no style
I need to win the lottery,
Oh what i could do then
With all that much money.

After work I'll buy a ticket
I go right past the store,
To my surprise I won a grand
Rags to Riches not wanting more.
