Null and Void

[scara]

Wrote this little poem for my writing class tomorrow.

Enjoy!



Woe, alas, alack is me,
The warning label I did not see.

When I scratched this card,
My heart it pumped hard.

Jackpot prize it declared,
As I just sat there and stared.

I jumped with joy at my win,
And hurried to cash it in.

I handed over the winning card,
The cashier looked at me with disregard.

Then pointed out to my dismay,
That I had scratched something that was not part of play.

I had uncovered the code and was much annoyed,
That it had made it all null and void.
