What would you do if you won the lottery?
If I won the lottery
It’d be a big surprise.
I seldom buy a ticket
So that’s the reason why.
The chances of you winning
Are really rather slim
I’d rather have smaller prize
But more chance of win.
Big prizes can bring problems
Bitter jealousies.
I’m sure you’d not please everyone
How ever hard you tried.
But if I were to win a sum
To do with as I pleased
I’d find ways to bring together
My scattered family.
Id love a special holiday
That we could all enjoy
My far flung sisters
Sons and wives
And of course their kids.
To have us all together
That would be my dream.
There’s reasons that won’t happen
Short of that big win.
