I found a dollar I picked it up at lunch at the Pub I feed it to the Pokie Machines (I never use my own money) I won another dollar So I kept pressing the flashing button Not understanding the symbols falling as it added more and more dollars to the *** After a while it had reached ten dollars (to me that's a lot) Hit Collect Listen to gold hit tin scooped them up cashed them in Dropped them into my handbag Only nine coins tinkled one had made it's own escape Looked back at Goliath a little old lady had paused Bent lower (than ever) plucked at sticky carpet came up with one dollar I smiled because it was the dollar I picked up Salute to old Lady $100 now in her pocket Both our days made Better by a dollar ;)
