The Lottery Ticket

A lottery ticket came my way
on an otherwise fairly ordinary day.
Fabulous music filled the air
for suddenly I was a millionaire.

A millionaire! A millionaire!
Now I’ll never have to cut my hair! 
Or take a number and stand in line
as if I were living in the Argentine. 

Can’t wait to tell my working wife
we’re going to start a whole new life.
Time to go shopping for pretty things
like fancy cars and diamond rings!

Relatives who wanted yachts,
now will all get lots and lots.
Charity is not a crime,
brother, we can spare a dime. 

Alas, when all was said and done,
my ticket hadn’t really won.
But nonetheless the ride was fine
… just a fantasy of mine.
