I shook as I read the the words that I saw
I read them again in disbelief and awe
Money, such a problem within my life
Cutting things as close as a razor-edged knife!
Now all that's behind me, as it seems I have won
I dream of all that can now be done!
A brand new car, oh what the hell make it two
Make mine a pink one, and yours can be blue.
A fancy dinner at the best place in town
I won't be stingy, I'll share it around!
A brand new wardrobe for my whole family
A day at the spa that will be just for me!
The bills that so worried me almost every day
I can send to the trash or burn them, HURRAY!
I begin to dance in gleeful abandon
the bewilderment clear on the face of my son
He snatched up the papers to read what was there
as I giggle and toss back my long brown hair
He says "uh mom, I think you need to read it again,
It's a sales add only!" and his words start to set in
I read what he showed me as the dreams fade away
I guess I won't be rich, at least not today
Was fun while it lasted, the minutes, though few
When it finally happens I will know what I'll do!

I hate those ads that say you've won a million dollars and than in the small print it says you have to do all sorts of stuff like join a company for ten years first
