FORTUNE'S FAVORITE SON

The lottery jackpot was

Twelve million bucks;

So, I bought my ticket like

All hopeful fools.

Somebody, somewhere,

Favored by luck

Will find the right combo

To capture the pool.

Who knows what might happen?

So, might as well try it.

If someone is going to win,

Why not me?

It surely won't happen if

I fail to buy it;

And no one is likely to

Give them for free.

So, I'll take a chance and

Wager a dollar,

And hope for the best when

The drawing is done,

That luck is a lady and

I am her child.

Oh! to be Fortune's favorite son
