Tricks Are Treats

The once was an old private Dick
who oft bought lottery quick picks
Raja’s corner store
sold tickets galore
Dick went broke and paid him with tricks.

the only line off is number two. You could just remedy it like this: who would buy lottery quick picks. (it's about the best you can do with the word lottery).Also, I pronounce RA ja with stress on first part. If you can think of a name with stress on SECOND syllable, that meter would be fixed too. (you could say the old corner store)

Cute one, Deb. How far you have come with meter and good things like that since first we met! Thanks for the win. Your contest was OFF THE CHARTS!! I was amazed by the winners.
