his dreams and his hopes are dashed in vain
in the final shout as they call his name
his tickets lie like scattered leaves out on that asphalt plain

looking around for the moment that’s right
lottery life well the numbers are tight
as they try one more pull on the handle too late
he thinks of what could be it sticks in his throat

if the quinella…
