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

Rambler's Motto

Gentle Earth, and you
Inseparable, no?
If made, as meant for
Why shun? Enjoy!

With each rushed up breeze
Of its embrace
Lover's, perfume-filled
Lover's revives
Hilled and coastally
Opes wide its arms
Feeling that rapport
Instinct. Not coy!

Premium MemberFirst Date Motto

 Don’t touch my heart, don’t touch my lips, 
Don’t touch my soul, don’t touch my hips,
Leave my body parts alone -
Rather touch my funny bone! 
If you can crack me up and cheer,
Chance for a romance starts from here.

Does your conniption fit?

If it's not a laughing matter, then it's not important. 

Did you ever notice that when you stir a glass of something, the spoon says, "Jibiddy jibiddy jibiddy jibiddy"?

Worst first name of anyone I ever met: Schmedroy.

when their was hope 
when their was faith 
living within the youthful

My Parents Favorite Motto

First hear it from my Mom and Dad,
at first I thought the idea absurd,
but then I thought what the heck,
so I went outside to look around and check,

Investigating every single inch of property,
some squirrels running by my young feet,
with my happiness being short lived,
when I noticed no money growing on our trees.
