I’ll attempt the lottery – if I can not lose

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

There’s no sense of achievement

If you can not fail

Like those superhero films

Where heroes always win.

---

You need a chance of failure

To get joy from success

There’s little point in playing games

If you know you’ll always win.

---

---

But then again – the Lottery!

A prize you don’t deserve

I’ll definitely buy a ticket

If I know I can not lose!

---

It wouldn’t be a challenge

But I could live with that.

To use the money wisely;

Challenge enough in that.

---

There’s surely satisfaction

In helping others out

Some sense of achievement

In knowing who needs what.

---

So yes ok the lottery

I’ll get that ticket now

Shame for all the other folk

Because the winner’s me!
