You will inherit
You will inherit some money
or a small piece of land. Whoopee
That's what fortune cookie had said
Rushed right home to spread the good news
Next to the auto store he went
Ordered a bright new red corvette
Found his wife diamond ring, real big
Seven carrots, fit for a queen
More on layaway, kids need shoes
Soon he spent all of his money
He didn't have a thing to show
Worse yet, rich uncles he had none

I am linked with Margaret at the Real Toads, Play it Again, Toads! #16
and with NaPoWriMo 2015, both for Day 26 of National Poem Writing Month
Margaret gave us three options to write using former prompt ideas. I chose the 'fortune cookie' option, "Imagined by Ella - Fortune Cookies "
Ha, that is so often the case!
