STRIKE IT RICH

If the truth be known, I probably have more unwanted and unread magazines than anyone I know!

The reason is simple. If Ed and Dick just happened to come by to deliver my sweepstakes check and I didn’t have an ample supply of magazines scattered about I would be embarrassed. A future millionaire does not want to appear cheap.

If you really want to strike it rich you are much better off with a lottery ticket. It is much less expensive and you get much more bang for your buck. Especially if you are not an avid magazine reader!

Of course, there is the thing about gambling. I get around that fairly easy. I simply pay for my lottery tickets out of my budgeted entertainment funds! I chalk it all up to entertainment. I’m not gambling. I’m having fun.

A lottery ticket is the best entertainment expenditure in the whole wide world. Purchase a lottery ticket and all you have to do is to conjure up in your mind all the things you could do with all that money.

You could drive the best and most expensive car in the country. You could travel to the most exotic places in the world. You could sail the seven seas. You could hunt bear and fish for salmon in Alaska. You could go on safari and hunt elephants in Africa.

You could also chase other things on the French Riveria!

A good conjurer can find much more adventure than you can find in all those magazines.

Remember, you must have a lottery ticket to win!

I do a lot of dreaming
And I am befuddled through and through.
If I ever really struck it rich,
I wonder what I would do!
Would I still be true to who I am?
Would I still eat humble pie?
Do I really want the option,
Or is my dream a lie?

Would I buy some peacock feathers
And strut my way to fame?
Or build a statue to a fool
And give the thing my name?
Would I build a mansion on the hill
For all the world to see?
Then drop my pants, moon and yell,
"Hey folks, look at me!"

Or would I count my blessings,
And get on my knees and pray?
Then thank the Lord that I could help
Someone along the way.
Would I use my newfound riches
To ease both pain and strife?
Would I keep my friends and neighbors
On this journey down through life?

I won’t know unless it happens
And I do find wealth and fame,
What kind of statue I would build
And what would be its name!
But, if I was a betting man
And if I really struck it rich
I’d give you odds of ten to one
I’d be a first class son of a bitch!
