Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
My Lucky Day
My Lucky Day
Barely had a shower,
Was coming down the stairs
An email in my inbox
A man who says his prayers
Overseas is dying
From some horrid disease
Needs to spend his fortune
And God had chosen me!
Bank details were required,
Well, that seemed fair enough
But, before I give them
I got some other stuff.
Text, congratulations
Huge, my lottery win
Amazing, reason I,
I’ve not paid nothing in!
Please confirm bank details
Of course, well would not you?
Then, by Jove, a phone call
The Inland Revenue.
Big tax over-payment
I only had to ring
Payment in a jiffy
Would end my suffering.
Never been so lucky
So many billet-doux
Here are my bank details
Why, help yourself, please do!
If it sounds too good to be true…

I don’t tend to get them any more, but I’ve had all sorts over the years. I mainly get stuff now purporting to be from Amazon, but that is easy ‘cos I don’t shop with them.
