Poem 224: Winning Streak

Are you a person who likes to gamble or play that game of chance?

Dream of winning the lottery just to better your circumstance?

I am one of those individuals and I haven’t had much luck at all

The most money I won was a hundred dollars on “Lotto Max” I recall

In fact I keep the proof in my wallet that I carry every day

I don’t buy a ticket very often, in fact I rarely play

When the jackpot is enormous, that’s the time I usually give in

Perhaps that’s the reason that I seldom win

But now the tide has changed and I am now on quite a streak

I have been winning prizes every single day of the week

For contests that I don’t even remember entering my name

But the rewards from these events are pouring in just the same

I am not bragging about it all, I insist

Here are just a few examples that are on my list

I got a five hundred dollar gift card from “West Jet” to go towards a flight

I wasn’t making plans, but now I think I might!

Not to be outdone, “Air Canada” sent me one too

Another five hundred dollars, perhaps I can combine the two?

I have parcels waiting  for delivery waiting for confirmation to send

I don’t remember ordering anything, they must be from a friend

Some businesses must think I’m bilingual because they are en francais

Another couple of presents that have somehow lost their way

“Rona” sent me a request to fill out a survey and I think I will

Just for answering their questions I receive a “Milwaukee” power drill

I’m not much of a handyman and everyone can agree

This won’t take up much time and hell it’s all free

Finally, being computer savvy as I am

I am intelligent enough to recognize a scam!

I got some email from “Netflix” saying my subscription was suspended

I never had an account, so how could it have ended?

Two dollars a year for movies is what I would have to pay

You think I’m stupid! I wasn’t born yesterday!
