I smile
very small to large
as i check the inside
I didn't expect it
we mostly see letters
wishes and greetings
on the inside cap
but then a different cap
I saw it to that my guy
he knew I have won that bottle cap
the lottery on the bottle cap.
My heart beep many times
the game gets more interesting
I hold that particular cap separate
after the game
I went to see the woman
she was the seller of the product
the person we know in the area.
She got it for me
first was a drink
later was the shirt
the whole city was looking at me
I was like the ambassador
with the winning cap
lots of day's I want that
but it does comes out
l won the lottery cap.
This poem tries to look into those days we were fond of playing coca cola bottle cap game, you know just few days ago, I still play that game, it was me and my friend, and we just wanted to have that cruise once more, and we were so happy at it, do not asked me who beat the other, because I won him five times, and he was not a match to my tactics in the game.
That was by the way, because the essence of the poem was about the winning numbers we sometimes found at the cap of the bottles, as we played those games, we also checked each of those cap to know if we are going to win an object.
l have won a thing before from the coca cola bottle cap, it was a T-shirt, and when I took it to the seller of the product, in our area, she gave me a drink first, and that was for winning, then fixed a date for me to come and get the T-shirt.
On that exact date, I was very happy as I got to her shop, and she has collected the T-shirt for me from the company distributors, i put the clothes on at the spot and it was my size, going back to the house, anybody who saw me knows that I have won a lottery.
