A fortune cookie changed my life. br I suggest that you wipe the smiles br From your faces my skeptic friends. br It’s true and attributable br To that tasteless of all cookies br The one that they present to you br With the tab after you’re finished br Eating their fine Chinese cuisine. br I broke it in two exposing br The faux message on the paper: br Wealth will come sooner than you think. br After leaving the restaurant br I purchased from a grocery br Store just a few shops up the block br Just one six-digit lottery. br The following lucky Wednesday br All six numbers were drawn that night.
