An Unpredictable Thing Poem by Francis Duggan

Life can be an unpredictable thing
Who is to say what tomorrow will bring
One of the poor of the town yesterday
Last night lady luck she did come his way
The lucky fellow his luck was in
In tattslotto he did have a huge jackpot win
Yesterday from struggling financially to an overnight millionaire
He has become one of the lucky rare
Yesterday his buying a lotto ticket proved well worth his while
Today he is one who has reason to smile
Though poor financially with hope he kept faith
Everything does come to those who do wait
Yesterday the lady of luck she was smiling his way
He has no financial worries today.
