'I Played A Game Of Crazy Eights' Poem by Linda Winchell

Today I was asked to play this number, do it box and do it straight.
Because it comes but only once in a lifetime,
Eight, eight of two thousand eight.

The eight is said to be symbolic, of mans eternity,
Now that is so crazy and really big news to me.

So I played that number on two Lotto tickets today,
I played them for me and my honey.
And if we win I won't have to worry,
If my poetry ever makes any money!
