Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

The Price Of Winning

True story..... I won a thousand dollars on a scratch-off,  it
 probably cost me two thousand over time , now that's a sin ! 



I went down to the grocery
I needed to buy some greens
I thought I'll put a dollar
In that new Lotto machine

I know that gambling 
Could be a source of sinning
But couldn't resist the possibility 
Of winning


chorus
Hip Hip Hooray, What a great day
I Won a thousand by pure luck
But after the bills, And a few cheap thrills
I'm in the hole
 ten bucks

I know that gambling 
Could be a source of sinning
But couldn't resist the possibility 
Of winning


chorus
Hip Hip Hooray, What a great day
I Won a thousand by pure luck
But after the bills, And a few cheap thrills
I'm in the hole
 ten bucks
