About This Author
 Writing poetry allows me to exercise my imagination and share it with others. I strive to write for the benefit of the reader using carnival fun mirror images of my life's experiences.

| Daddy died face down in the drive, There was nothing that we could do. Mama found out she had cancer Within a year her life was through. We scraped enough to buy the plots But we couldn't afford a stone Now that I've won the Lottery I had them both dug up and cloned. I spent my life looking for a girl That could be my ideal life mate With a special something inside Skin deep beauty was second rate. I found a woman I could trust To her, I did wholly commit Now that I've won the Lottery She's nipped, tucked, and perfectly fit. As an elder of my family, I'd help out as much as I could Making my rounds from house to house I tried to do the things I should Sometimes my cousins would argue From my advice, sometimes they ran Now that I've won the Lottery They're never to see me again. I suffer from a failing heart I'm diabetic and in pain Don't know how long I have to live Before I go completely insane. But the Good Lord smiles down on me And that makes me feel like a champ Now that I've won the Lottery I'd give all to win Writer's Cramp. 32 Lines
