Lottery...
Guess you won
Oh what joy!
Oh what fun!

Imagine if you had...

Eighty six thousand, four hundred
Pounds, dollars, euros, francs or yen
Each one you would save, count and spend
Losing, wasting you won't intend

Money is, to you and me
Like, honey is, to a bee

Did you know?
Money has a twin
Did you know?
It only knows to win

Is this true?
Sure it is
Not just now
Ages since

Money is time
Time is money
Time and dime
Intertwined

We fail, to respect time
Waste instead, what a crime!

Health is wealth
Wondered why?

Route antique, to buy time
On planet earth, more time
To live long, prodding by
Years and years, passing by

Equality of wealth
We seek for all
Though if money is time
We have that all

That too, every day
What more, is to say?

Lottery…
Yes, you win!
In a tin,
Not to bin

Really you have…

Eighty six thousand, four hundred
Seconds, you have, to start the day
Then why don't you save, count and spend?
Which will be lost, at the day's end...

Recycle, reuse, reduce
You cannot
Pause, rewind, restart, then stop
You cannot

Best part - daily refill
Till life ends - to standstill

Why not, make most of it?
Cash daily every bit
Live in the moment
Enjoy the present

Love, laugh and learn
Thank in return
Memories to earn
Calories to burn

Crawl, stand, walk, run
Life's just begun
Each day, new start
To live, by heart

Time is the best gift to give
Precious and impressive
Listen, be attentive
Patient, yet responsive

Lottery -
Every day!
Cash it in
Make your day!
