This Man From Buyukada

This Man From Buyukada


After half a century of tickets
This man from Buyukada
Hearing the great news
His spectacular lottery win
Built a big fire
The biggest and the hottest
On the tallest hill of Buyukada
Next to Aya Yorgi Greek church
Playing Mozart's Requiem
Friends with champagne flowing
Cheers  wonderful life stories
Before with a single motion
The man threw  winning ticket in to the fire
Friends shocked by floating ashes
In disbelief
Asking and asking why
The man said
“ I missed you my friends
Wishing to reminisce old days
I won no lottery”
That's when
A guy punched him hard in the nose
Shouting

“This is for my gift I never got”
