Maybe
Friday night, fat ass glued to the chair
Tuning into the news on the tiny screen
Grubby hands hold the ticket at the ready
Pudgy eyes darting to the wall clock
As the hands of the dial switch to 11
Maneuvering the fat head back to the TV
The poor quality host steps into the frame
And a weak heart starts pumping and racing
Maybe, just maybe
The fat man wheezes out
Maybe, just maybe
One by one, each number makes an appearance
At too agonizingly slow of a pace for fatty
A bead of sweat has time to run down his head
He swats it away with a large meaty hand
And licks his chapped lips with a cow’s tongue
As each number proves to be a match
In sync with the tick of an enlarged heart
Then the mega-million number is called
Lucky number 57 is summoned to play
Maybe, just maybe
Tubby begs and pleads
Maybe, just maybe
Eyes hurriedly check the lottery ticket
Devouring the numbers on the paper
Satisfied with a deep sigh of content
As if he just finished the main course
He reclines in the chair ready for desert
For each and every number matched his own
But the excitement drew too much attention
All at once, the heart ceased ticking
In the dark, the pacemaker clicking
No more maybes
Wheezing or pleading
No more maybes
