The Year of the Pig Brings Wealth

Year of the Pig Brings Wealth

Sam Adams
One day woke up
Looked at his finances

Realizing
That he was now a multi-millionaire
Rental properties,
Pensions, and his wife’s pension.

And soon social security
And no mortgage
Or student debt.

He thought that perhaps
It was all because
He had married
A woman

Born in the Year
Of the golden pig
A most auspicious year.

For people born
In the Year of the Pig
And incredibly good
At making money.

To this day
Dreaming of a pig
Means you need
To buy a lotto ticket.

He smiled
Thinking of marrying his wife
Was the best lotto ticket
He could have ever bought.
