16/9: When you've used up sixteen of your nine lives.

16/9: When You've Used Up Sixteen Of Your Nine LivesNear misses and a few direct hits. Brushes with mortality. Enjoy!It would seem fitting, as my toe in the water of the world of writing, to describe a number of events which could have precluded me from telling my story. Mercifully, for me, they didn't, leading to the birth of this ditty. I hope you enjoy it, that it stimulates your thoughts as to what a lottery life can be and perhaps allows reflection on you and yours as you forge forward. It is also my intention that this yarn be a forerunner to a suite of further offerings which shall include, but not be limited to, some the titles listed below, which shall also be found on www.lulu.com quite soon. With every good wish,Enjoy!
