1/.
Proof there is no God
I haven’t won the lottery!
What else does it take?
2/.
Wanting to comment
But no idea what to say
I’ll skip it for now
3/.
Underslept again
It’s still night and Winter out
Snooze on three more months
4/.
Teleport dinner
Pizza in nanoseconds
Or you get it free
5/.
Death takes Sir Terry
Discworld drifts on happy smiles
Never forgotten
Arthur Chappell

pfft, not winning the lotto is proof of nothing, other than being more broke, heh

It might improve my chances of winning if I buy a ticket

@Jessicalynnt I have bought tickets some weeks but often can't even afford one - I don't look at the numbers those weeks. I'd hate my regular numbers coming up on a night I haven't played. I could be a millionaire and not even know it.

@arthurchappell Loved your haikus. You reminded me of two things - that I love pizza and could eat it everyday if possible and Janis Joplins song
about that Mercedes Benz

Great haiku poetry, Arthur. What a beautiful ode to the late Terry Pratchett, too.

everyone should read Pratchett - I'd have it carved into the ten commandments
