Lotto

Saw a doorman on a break -
He was smoking - big mistake!
"Fools do this" might be his motto -
He was also playing Lotto.

Smoking's known as bad for health,
But Lotto makes one yearn for wealth.
Sad to say, though hope it fuels,
It strikes me as a game for fools.

People spend more than they should,
With dreams that winning really would
Improve their lives and so they choose
To squander all their revenues.

They rarely win and have to cope
With dwindling cash, all lost to hope.
It would be better, it would seem,
To keep their dough and change their dream.
