Lottery

Today’s the time to take control
Lady Luck has saved this loser’s soul
I played the ticket and fought off fate
And now I’ll pay off debts of late

No more stress from daughter’s tuition
Cash to spend on son’s superstition
Wife says we should buy the house
But I think I’d like a brand-new spouse

Flout my flashy foreign car
Got some more—complete the set
Dressin’ like a movie star
Now I’m in even bigger debt

Looks like I got too lax
Forogt to pay tax after tax
And now I owe more than I bought
The lottery was all for naught
