An Old Man From Burgaz Island
The
lucky old man from Burgaz island
Near
Istanbul
Winning
a year long journey
Any
place around the world
On a
mule train bus or plane
Said
to the lottery board
“May
I have the cash instead
I am
happy in Burgaz”
For
the precise sum
The
old man was to name
An
imaginary destination
“Burgaz
“he said firmly
The board awarding no money
“No
need to travel
And
you'll stay free in your own home”
The
lucky old man
Given
a second chance
Again shouting
”
Burgaz of course
Are
you deaf or prejudiced
Against
my beautiful island”
