I'm getting all my pennies in a bunch  
and going on a trip across the country.  
Ensuring that I have enough to munch,  
I survey the recesses of my pantry.  
Amidst stale cereals and staler cheeses,  
I find a lotto ticket, never used.  
That Lady Luck, she hands out as she pleases.  
I check online, the site says: "prize refused".  
The prize -- it would have been a million dollars  
but only if I'd brought the ticket in.  
I call upon the gentlemanly scholars.  
At first I do not know where to begin.  
But then I hit upon the winning gambit,  
I tell them everyone gets lucky -- once.  
Do not rob me, cause I'm no lucky bandit,  
or fate itself will look at you askance.
