I often longed to win a lottery, to see what life is like in luxury. Until I had this terrible dream, the numbers I picked won, it seems. I'm not quite sure how big the pot, but my dream revealed it was an awful lot. My relatives arrived; so many heard I won the game. Strangers to me; knocking on my door, they came. My dear sweet wife bought everything in sight-- we were in stores day and night. My complaints she would not heed; junk, we did not need. When I awoke again I thanked God I never win! |
