The Poems

THE LOTTERY

So much eagerness

Wrapped in

 

a small, shiny

ticket

 

glazed with value

and dreams

 

of money

and more money

that will never reach one’s hand

 

THIS IS JUST TO SAY

                                                       

Far up,

I have found the delectable cookies

Hidden on the top shelf

Hidden in plain sight

 

And which

You were probably

Saving

For lunch

 

I am sorry

Sincerely

But I am fat

After all
