Life Plus 2M

Euro and Lotto

Her life was as worthless
as the screwed up tickets
that littered her table,
and sideboard
and floor.

Living in the one room
that wasn't cluttered with bags
of clothes and papers,
she looked back
rarely
and looked forward
never.

Then it happened.

Life was changed beyond
all her dreams
Beyond all the noughts she had ever thought would grace a winning cheque

Her son called by

Bringing with him two young boys
and leaving two hours later
without them.

Life with 2 Mutts
2 dogs due to be put down for lack of a home
now hogged the settee
as she began for the first time in a very long while
to clear up.
