How to Hit the Powerball *
(a sure-fire formula, Guaranteed!)
- by Tim Torkildson -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I aim to hit the Powerball just once in my short span;
and I have got a logical and foolproof master plan.
First I take my birth date and divide it by 16,
then I add that number to the price of Ovaltine.
Next I take the license plate of any car I pass
and multiply it by the days until I mow my grass.
Finally I cast my horoscope with a hand of Uno,
and divide it by the temperature up there in snowy Juneau.
I come up with a number that is guaranteed to win,
and write it down upon a piece of certified buckskin.
I’ll share my system with you for a negligible fee
(since I have been quite broke since back in ’63…).
