Scratch Off
My nephew scratched his ticket
For the lottery, to find
He’d won a rather hefty sum;
It really blew his mind.
Which made me think, does everyone
Who plays expect this news?
If so, perhaps to win at last
Means one has paid his dues.
In any case, I hope this windfall
Helps some plans to hatch
And doesn’t cause an outcome
That is not quite up to scratch.
