Footing the Bill

by Steven Urquhart Bell

“Powerball winner who took home $167m is arrested after ‘kicking’ a cop the next day”
The Independent

If I won a hunk of bread,
I’d try to keep a level head—
Not go around behaving like a dick.

But then again, if I could say,
“A fine, your honor? Yes, I’ll pay,”
I’ve got a list of folks I’d love to kick.
