The Winner Remixed

AABBA

I just won a thousand with luck

I thought I would share with the ruck

But after the bills 

And a couple of thrills

I'm now in the hole, ten bucks



I think I got it right this time,

Thanks for the heads up Andrea

Dear Jerry, you crack me up. Money you win is often spent too quickly. Love the limerick. Also got quite a laugh on the comment you left about the "bug" who knows when to leave. You have quite a sense of humor! Well done. Love, Carolyn
