Jack Cooper Poet Rhyme

You Have To Play To Win

OMG
SWEEPS
I Click 4 Riches 
Living Large
Tall And In Charge
I would not barge
My way through
Winning 50k 
In a free online 
Sweepstakes today

That's way too cool 
Nothing ever happens like that 
To this old fool
There is no way
They are lying or denying
This is for real
And it's a really big deal
That just makes me want to squeal

If I checked it once
Then I checked It a dozen times
Oh my God
 This one is all mine
Like they said in the email
 You're the winner
Without fail

They are not asking 
For a dime
Or feeding me some fancy line
I cant wait  
Until they give me
What they say 
Is all mine

I'm so happy 
I hope they know 
I'm coming undone
Because deep down inside 
I know I have won
I have been trying all day
To except what good fortune 
Has come my way

In such a big play
This has all been 
So much fun 
There is no way 
I'm letting this one 
Come undone

Oh Lord
I pray they did not 
Just say it that way 
Otherwise, 
They would be  
Just like 
Those other guys
But to my surprise
Nothing about this sweepstakes 
Is a lie

I don't want to ask why
I would rather 
Wait with excitement
To open my eyes 
To a big surprise
When 
OMG SWEEPS 
Gets a hold of me 
With my 50k grand prize 

They already notified me
With my two 
Mail confirmations
Everything since then
Has been positive vibrations

Oh I can't wait to go on vacation
I have been at it for months
You know
All those promotional stunts
I think I'm hooked
I don't want to overlook
How few sweepstakes
This actually took

For the odds 
To sway my way today
I'm sure I will not rest 
Until the money Is safe in my nest
Now I can attest
And I'm not under duress
This is actually happening to me

Oh Lord 
Let this turnout 
For the best
I must confess 
The whole thing
Has made my day 
Simply the best 
I hope this isn't a test
That would make me 
Too depressed
I can't let 
It get me stressed

I have got to try 
My very best
Not to kiss it 
All goodbye
And realize
What the good Lord
Has brought my way today

You Have To Play To Win
You Too Could Be Sporting 
A Big Grin
After You Win
It's Not A Sin 
It's A 
OMG SWEEPS
Win

Gershon Wolf May 3, 2018 at 4:18 PM You know, there's always a chance that these things are real, but of course, it if sounds too good to be true, then for sure it is...And has anyone ever met anyone who's won one of these? ---Don't think so...At any rate, this was quite an enjoyable write. I romped through it. Kudos to you! Best wishes, gw Jack Cooper May 3, 2018 at 9:09 PM Thank you Gershon you are correct about if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. I am glad you enjoyed the read
