From the Heart

Jackpot

Jackpot

Before I could hit the jackpot,
And be well heeled,
I became a crackpot,
My fate sealed.

Betting all my earnings,
Believing in my luck,
Waiting for the evenings,
Hoping for a quick buck.

O’er and o’er been let down,
Hands in my empty pockets,
A heap on the ground,
Shamelessly crying buckets.

To alter my destiny,
Was most foolish.
Wanted to make much money,
But now I’m finished.
