If I scratch another X
for three in a row, I win

If I scratch a O, I win nothing

If I scratch a 7, I get 7 times
the prize I've yet to scratch

Why bother?  This one will join
the pile of $1 winners on $5 tickets
I've tucked away for a rainy day.

New tires or when the lottery hits $1M even

Gary



I'm quite an acrobat you know
can twist my legs upon the floor
my arms held high like dancing Queen
It's not legs eleven it's legs sixteen
Two fat ladies and Kelly's eye
unlucky for some a maiden's sigh
Number ten and one thin duck
I've said your magic now wish me luck,

Sally J on a small brandy (well nearly small)
