Lotto Day Buzz
Lotto Day Buzz/Tony Adamo
Thoughts spin like a top high.
my head’s a blur of numbers,
9 8 9 7 3-no!
Wait, hold on,
8 6 7 22 slips away.
Not quite right.
Man don’t rush me, damn!
People waiting behind me,
the pressure’s real.
Wish I’d hooked up those lucky picks in my head,
but hey, I gotta keep my cool,
21,67,15,32,25,52- pick up,
yeah, I’m hip

Lotto and Gambling Compared
I find little wrong with lotto.
They don’t play it in a grotto:
Hotels and parks lovers go to;
Camera free with its photo,
On some scene of play priest’s motor.
He knew where the rivers flow to...
Or should we fault the lotto:
It make a thing to say “No” to?
An airplane to stop its rotor?
Then, it is igneous-hard: your

Lotto Lament
lotto results come
and lotto results go
once again I'm not a winner
of any amount of dough
I had already planned
how to spend the loot
wildly anticipating
my gamble bearing fruit
feeling disappointed
at such a poor result
I reminded myself firmly
it was all my own fault
my frugal disposition
and fantasy world within
means I never buy a ticket...

Lady Lotto
I take another lotto chance, a whirl,
Lady Lotto, powers of a girl,
A woman's touch,
I don't ask much,
Lotto can well afford all this,
Winning a prize would be the blip,
Do I have a lucky hunch?
Taking a ticket after lunch,
Do any of us have psychic abilities?
Lady Lotto, please smile on me!

Is My Call Important
As My hands go up in urgent prayer
‘the question I wonder ,is anyone there .
Waiting patiently and hoping for a reply
‘Is my call viewed as important ?
I ponder the reasons why .
My eyes are tightly shut
‘I’ll Tense just a little more
‘Maybe prostrating myself would help
‘So I lay me face down upon

Lotto - If I Win You Win
Time to Share
Tonight I won a lotto lucky dip
I can’t wait for it
To change my life and then strip
Down to my pants and then dip
Into the sea
Where all life began
Even without my pants on
I could use it to cure
All my ailments and some more
But it’s only just a ticket
It is not real life really is

Another Way To Win the Lotto
Our nature is to dream,
and want to win what we don't have now.
When disappointed,
wouldn't it be nice to have the ability to be patient,
when we don't get what we want this minute.
When enthusiasm is diminished due to a loss,
can't we learn to resist,
letting it put a damper on trying new things.
Then we might

Rolling Lotto Ticket
My lotto ticket done fell on the floor
Old floor fan blew it right out the door
Chased it out to the road
And my eyes did behold
It rolled away on the tire of a Ford

Got the winning numbers in me head,
Dreamed the buggers while in me bed,
Gave em to, newspaper Dan,
Plugged em in, sure can,
Wrong day, no way, so damn frustrated.

Lotto
Lying under a counter they say
One dollar is the cost to play
Two to make your winnings more
The next ticket is it for sure
Oops, being lucky is not today

The Lotto Ticket Date
Two of us were standing in line.
She bought a ticket, me some wine.
I then opened the door,
Her purse fell to the floor.
Snatched her ticket… tonight we dine.

Hope built on imaginary gains,
A resort of d poor,
We are addicted.

In fact my late grandfather gave me
A sure banker! Liverpool vs Southampton,
This Saturday with #5000,
Am sure to b richer than Bill Gate
To b richer faster,
