So the other day, for an early gift of Easter/Pat's birthday months ago at my bay, a pack of scratch tickets came with the money on display. I mean I guess you never know so may as well give them a go. But what a load of crap they are. Better luck convincing a drunk to leave a bar.
$100,000 you can win.
Who cares if gambling is a sin.
Grab a pack and scratch away,
Wasting a few minutes of your day.
Look, a winner in every pack.
That has to make you want to go on the scratch attack.
Simply pull out a penny and have fun,
You do know here in Canada the penny is done?
So better save one for luck.
Oh look, you won a whole buck.
We just made nine bucks off you.
But a winner still came due.
Don't spend it all in one spot,
Put it back in the pot.
We may as well suck that back too,
But you could still win money, it's true.
Oops, lost once more.
I guess you could try another at your shore.
Oh just one word away,
From two whole dollars at your bay.
Damn, if only that number was there,
Could fling your hands in the air,
And shout bingo!
Too bad, so sad, gotta go.
Follow the pretty arrow,
Looking for the $100,000 show.
Damn, turned just in time,
These things are a crime.
Get three of a kind.
Easy for even those with brains in their behind.
Oops, none of them match,
Not even if you cheat and mix some from your batch.
But one in three tickets win.
So it's not a sin,
We give back too,
Helping all by sucking money from you.
Look a new jackpot with big chances,
That is getting many glances.
You better join in,
For you just might win.
Pfft is what I will say to such crap at my bay. Of course free I will scratch and find the whole $1 win out of the batch. That will surely make me smile. I mean you can stretch a $1 a mile. Might get a gummi bear or even three. My that has to impress thee. But at least it was shown off by a pretty lass. Pffft that still does not impress my little rhyming ass.
Experience spring, have a fling.
$100,000 you can win.

ReplyDeleteHank
Back on top
DeleteMaking waffles a flop
Hank is back with a bang, beating him will be my new "thang"
DeleteHave to be fast
DeleteTo make Hank a thing of the past
No?
ReplyDeleteA little slow
DeleteAt my show
I remember you briefly saying before Pat that you thought scratch cards were a waste of time and you're right especially when expanded on in here. When there's only one jackpot prize in an entire country your odds are terrible and people should realise that.
ReplyDeleteYeah only way to get that one
DeleteIs to work with them and rig it so you know where to find the winner that was spun
haha...i have only ever played when they were given to me at my bay, and only ever played lotto like twice, lost all the times, its not nice...my father in law plays them all and swears he's broke even, dont knot that i believe that rave'n
ReplyDeletehaha yeah breaking even isn't ever
DeleteGoing to be an endeavor
But as long as one doesn't lose their clothes
Or get addiction woes
Then it can be okay
Still prob never going to win at ones bay
Simple in fact it's too easy
ReplyDeleteBut for others to make money
It's a hoodwink
One will never win
Fraudsters laughing gleefully
Hank
yeah they are the winners out of it
DeleteWhile the rest get more broke at their pit
I hardly ever buy the scratch tickets. $1 is the most I have ever won, but my Hubs Uncle won $5,000. Who knows how much he spent to get that.
ReplyDeleteYeah in the end prob spent double that
DeleteTo get it at his mat
If it's too good to be true, it usually is. I live in Las Vegas and I don't even gamble. lol
ReplyDeleteGood way to be
DeleteAs that is rigged up the gazoo at your sea
Scratch away
ReplyDeleteAs you dream away
Then you bitch away
As you throw your cash away
Lucy from Lucy's Reality
Lots of away's today
DeleteI'll now go away haha
Lottery tickets and the like are such a waste. Nothing worse than getting behind someone at the store buying those tickets either.
ReplyDeleteYeah that is such a pain in the butt
DeleteThen you get the superstitious ones who may be worse at their hut
Never buy and scratch. ,-)
ReplyDeleteJust dash
DeleteAnd flash?
that would be flash,
Deletethen dash.
haha.
haha depends on who you are flashing
DeleteAs maybe you want to be umm clashing
Some things I don't care to get involved in. Gambling is one of those things! Smiles.
ReplyDeleteYeah a good way to be
DeleteBut if done right one can win some money
It was free
ReplyDeleteYou didn't go on a spree
But never will you
Join the queue
Or get in line
Better go out and dine
Wat a waste of time
I can't figure the end to this bad rhyme
Well at least there was an end
DeleteAnd yeah my money I will never send
To those greedy turds
Rather feed it to the birds
I loved the winner in every pack things. Especailly soda contests.
ReplyDeleteYeah a bunch of crap
DeleteAcross themap
I am married to a guy who loves the possible. It's a good match because I, although a dreamer too, never expect to win anything!
ReplyDeleteThaks for the visit about my dog, Pat. Did I ever tell you how great I think you are? I mean out of a hundred? You are a HUNDRED and WON!
jean
Well it is possible indeed
DeleteAnd i can see that at ones feed
But probable not a chance
A hundred and won makes me prance
They do say you've got to be in it to win it! Which means I really will not ever win it, 'cause I never remember to be in it! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah those who say that
DeleteGo broke fast at their mat
To win the show
ReplyDeleteWhat a glow
Adrenalin's the name of the game
It ain't the money
So buy a honey
But the adrenalin won't feel the same
You telling me to buy a hooker?
DeleteI hope she's a looker
And no disease
Already have fleas haha
NO.....Jez Say'n
DeleteThe thrill of winning a jackpot
Will be an immense lot
Compared to buying a hooker
You'll just be snooker
haha name calling too
DeleteHow rude of zoo hahaha
If there a match
ReplyDeletewith gambling mood-
we could be stretch
the budged, food
to fetch
the winning ticket...,
scratch...,
and get
desired
$ badge...
Yet the desire
Deletethat fuels the fire
Quickly gets burned out
And away they shout
I only got one of that,
ReplyDeleteand it was free so what
I didn't win anything,
and that was the last,
even if not a blast ~
Happy weekend Pat ~
Yeah free is okay
DeleteScratch away
But in the end
No money one should spend
They make a million of those useless ones. The odds are just not in your favor.
ReplyDeleteNope not at all
DeleteAt any hall
Sometimes those winner things are really just wieners!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm do they have a first name?
DeleteTo their fame
Avoid those rigged things
ReplyDeleteThat I do
DeleteAt my zoo
I'm usually the one stuck behind the man or woman buying scratch tickets. You know, the one who plays every day, but still can't figure out which ones he's gonna buy out of the 47 offered...
ReplyDeleteI had to serve those nuts years ago
DeleteAt my former work show
Had some that were so pysch-ly endowed
They stood out from the crowd
They went three over and four up
That was the winner, yep dumber than a pup
Better to scratch where there's an itch,
ReplyDeleteat least you get something useful from it!
Scratching away because of a "pitch"
makes me think that your brain is loosely knit!!!
Not your brain Pat!
DeleteIt's where it's at...lol!!!
LOL i got what you meant
DeleteAnd will not get bent
Just don't scratch an itch too much
Could burn and such
my dad played lotto all his life...always the same 6 numbers..and that's why he said he cannot stop cause if they would win and he hadn't played, it would kill him...
ReplyDeleteYeah i can see that I suppose
DeleteAs that would suck and curl ones toes
Best of luck,
ReplyDeleteCluck, cluck, cluck.
Not the way to make a buck,
Better off driving a pizza truck.
At least there you get a tip
Deleteand can give people some lip
Hi! Pat Hatt, Miss Priss, and The Cat...
ReplyDeleteScratch Scratch Scratch here at your mat...
"Simply pull out a penny and have fun,
You do know here in Canada the penny is done?"
Oh ! yes, this I knew and if your readers follow this link Here---> Canadian Penny they can read about it too ! Boo hoo !
By the way, playing the lottery is never on my mind... Because I think playing the lottery is a waste Of time... Therefore, that is something that I would never do because I don't want my bank account wiped out... too !...heh! heh!
Thanks, for caring and sharing !
deedee :)
First one went to spam
DeleteNow back with a bam
I never buy any ticket and never think in that maybe some day come and angel and say me :for you gloria!:)
ReplyDeletehahaha!!
The Lottery Angel? lol....
DeleteWow you are blessed with an angel of the lottery?
Deleteif you win and give me some , I'll unbury thee haha
Last week, Taylor won $5 twice
ReplyDeleteso he thinks they are nice!
Maybe you forgot to cross your fingers and toes
and the crappy cards caused you woes?
I've only played twice ever
but won $15 in my endeavors.
Still not the type to try all the time.
If you want money, you have to earn it is my chime!
Good chime indeed
DeleteI did win $50 off one at my feed
The bought another and won $20 from that
Won another $50 and was done by the cat
And i got the first free
So works for me
Hi! Pat Hatt, Miss Priss, and The Cat...
ReplyDeleteScratch, scratch, scratch here at your mat...
"Simply pull out a penny and have fun,
You do know here in Canada the penny is done?"
Oh! yes, this I knew and if your readers, follow this link here---> The Canadian Penny they can read about it too!...boo! hoo!
By the way, playing the lottery is never on my mind...Because I feel that it's a waste Of time.
I must admit that is something that I would never do...Because it will wipe out my bank account too!
Thank, for caring and sharing too !
deedee :)
Yeah i f you are going to gamble
DeleteMay as well not ramble
And skip the lottery crap
Go to a casino and get screwed over face to face at your map
Always a message at your sea
ReplyDeleteand this is a good for many to see
I think these scratch off our addictive
to some..and counterproductive...
this is how it's done you pay $10
and then you win $1..how is that a win
here where I live it was started to raise
money for schools & they make tons
off this scam but, yet they want to
increase taxes because they chewed
up the winnings on their own business
so tell me what went wrong..
I like the way you make a stand
bringing these messages to light
and you deserve to win a grand..
now, we just need a plan (lol)
to make that 100,000 grand
ps - forget about those other plans of yours (lol)
Have a great day at your bay...and please stay away from
the hay..
The hay is fun
DeleteYou need to make that be done
Go for a stroll
The stop drop and roll
And yeah one big scam
Filled with toe jam
But people fall for their trick
As they are rather slick
100,000 grand for little old me
Would be grand at my sea
But unless I go with my plan
Or find it in a trash can
Fat chance
Is my stance haha
[I'm out Of rhyming mode...My original comment just disappeared...Because I was signed into 2 separate accounts I fear???...I must admit that it's not always nice to repeat the same comment... twice!]
ReplyDeletewell there is one there
DeleteFor all to stare
I plan to win the lottery some day
ReplyDeleteAnd I know the chances that I may
Are as good as anyone else's
Because the lottery, I never play.
xoRobyn
Yeah those chances are just as good
DeleteBetter off finding dough growing on a tree of wood
There sure is a lot of psychology study that is currently being undertaken on the topic of gambling. Lottery for me is a special case of gambling, and the way you have things there, one of three people guranteed to win something (no matter how small), it sure makes more people buy lottery tickets :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah that what sucks them in
DeleteThinking they have great odds of a win
Little in life is really free, but one likes to dream sometimes!
ReplyDeleteYeah a fun dream here and there
DeleteIs fine at any lair
The only scratching I do lately is my ass!
ReplyDeletethey make cream for that
DeleteOr so I'm told at my mat
I never win!
ReplyDeleteWell at least you know the outcome
DeleteAnd then some
Every once in a while
ReplyDeleteI'll scratch for the extra mile
If I win I get to play again
If I don't, it's tough luck
But not a sin
Yeah tough luck
DeleteDoes suck
Seems to come
More often than not with its hum
We figure we have about the same chance to win whether we buy the tickets or not!
ReplyDeleteOnce, at the Human's work, they pooled their money and bought a couple hundred lotto tix when the pot was huuuuuge. They didn't even win a dollar on a single ticket. That's when the Human arrived at the above philosophy!
The hideous two weeks at the Human's work are over so I hope she'll be helping me visit more now!
Yeah we tried that once too
DeleteAt our work zoo
And never even got a smell
Now you don't have to give the human hell
My mom used to include a lottery ticket in our stockings at Christmas. They are fun to play when someone else is buying. Not so much when I pay for them and lose!
ReplyDeleteYeah when someone else does the buying
DeleteThey are fun spying
I have never played a scratch card
ReplyDeleteI would rather throw them in the yard
I see people buy 20 of them at a time
And then they wonder why they don't have a dime
Yeah that is surely steep
Deletethey should just throw their dough in a trash heap
Another fine example of your wit!
ReplyDeleteYou've got me laughing where I sit!
And I'm a gambler ~ I confess!
A hour of black jack is more fun than chess!
Certainly more fun than the Boys of Summer
or throwing away bucks on an oil-sucking Hummer!
I don't give scratching a go,
but sometimes I play the Colorado Lotto.
It started way back as a scratch,
and quickly transformed to a number picking match.
I even posted on the positive view;
I don't think players are totally perdu.
I agree with your salient point
at my Colorado joint:
"But as long as one doesn't lose their clothes
Or get addiction woes
Then it can be okay"
That's what I think at my bay.
The danger, of course, lies in the definition
of clothes and woes and perdition.
Thanks for such a provocative show,
at your bay, so apropos!
haha a gambler are you
DeleteHas been done at my zoo
Blackjack is better to try
Than scratching under your sky
And yeah that rule can be iffy
May lose your clothes and not look spiffy
Even then there are those with brain in their behind...
ReplyDeleteThis very act they tend to rewind...
Buy another piece of crap...they say the lottery ticket...
Help them making their 'plan' get even more wicked!
Doesn't matter to them, whether you spit or yawn..
For them...their show must go on!
And on is does go
DeleteAt their show
Whether their fame does grow
That I don't know
It's a loaded deck, gambling.But people invest in it, often its due to issues in their own life they are not addressing, so they adopt the ostrich approach and pray to the heavens.
ReplyDeleteThough i saw a midget once, and jokingly said to a friend i was with 'Lets grab him and make him tell us where his gold is' instead of assaulting him, i bought a scratch card with a leprechaun on it, i won forty euros.
hahaha that is quite the coincidence I suppose
DeleteGood you didn't cause the midget woes
Never win anything off those things as I never buy them
ReplyDeleteBest way to be
DeleteAt your sea
