Yippee-do-da-day

I know I’m going to win one day,
But I’m not too sure of when.
I’m really optimistic,
When picking up my lotto pen.

I’ve chosen all the birthdays,
I’ve even asked my wife.
But the numbers still elude me,
That would really change my life.

Each week I look for helpful signs,
That will assist me in my quest.
But so far they have escaped me,
Oh..which numbers would be best?

We have news about your ticket,
Comes a message through..on line.
But when I check..all full of hope,
The millions are not mine.

A lucky dip..they’ve given me,
Oh..yippee-do-da-day.
Another week of waiting,
For another lucky play.

I’ve got plans for all the millions,
When my lucky day arrives.
It’s going to make a difference,
To a lot of people’s lives

So..Twenty one and forty,
Sixteen and number ten…..
I know I’m going to win one day,
I’m just not too sure..of when!!

Not a lot to tell...just an ordinary man...always loved writing but never had the time until now...hope I've got a few years left to write about the million things I would like to get down on paper be it in poetry form or just plain old story telling. Just in case anyone would like me to come along to their group and read a few of my poems live..I would be happy to do so within the confines of Kent or Sussex...I would just need to cover my time and petrol costs...plus a cup of tea and a biscuit. Just email [email protected] To answer some of your questions= ex-army..ex -jackeroo...ex-builder..ex-quite a few other things..still rocking...married...2 + 3 children...7 grandchildren...retired...love custard creams. I have now published my first collection of poems which are now available on Amazon under the title of..LAST APPLE ON THE TREE. The book consists of twenty seven poems covering a wide range of topics and emotions. My second book has just been published and is called A BREEZE IN THE WILLOWS, also available on Amazon. I hope that everyone will get as much enjoyment reading them, as I did writing them.
