My Turn.
Twenty thousand times they said " there is something bloody wrong "
The only avenue is start again and do it for a song.
The majesty of the moment was lost on one so dumb
I was destitute and saddened that I could be the one.
My parents always told me that pride comes before a fall
and now finally I had my chance this time I'd have it all.
But I've found that if you want a fortune it's a bit like playing cricket.
Never whinge about the outcome if you don't buy a bloody ticket.

Re: Homework
You'll never ever know if you never have a go - true of most things in life isn't it Bob? I suspect though that many of us will buy a ticket every week for the rest of our life and still never know - it's just making a donation to a friendly cause. Clever use of the prompts with this one Bob.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Good one Bob! My granny used to say "If you don't knock on the door, how will anyone hear you?"
