The Lottery Poem by Charlie F. Kane

Money does not buy happiness,
But if I won the lottery it would certainly
Give me a helping hand.
I would spend it on removing
Those students debts
That will keep on dragging me down.

I could start a theatre company,
And we would tour and perform
If I won the lottery.
I could buy my parents a new house,
Probably by the seaside,
With a chair in the sun.

I would buy myself a Plymouth Fury ‘58,
Red and cream,
Then call her ‘Christine’.
If I won the lottery,
I would buy you a monkey,
Or a llama or a duck.

If I won the lottery
I would buy any crazy thing
You asked me of me.
If I won the lottery,
Some of it would have to go
To a charity.
If I won the lottery,
You and me,
Might be so happy.
