CHORUS

I checked behind a flibber‑flabber flapping in the air,
Then under Grandpa’s rocking chair that wasn’t even there.
I searched inside a zig‑zag box that barked just like a fox,
Then peeked beneath a dancing clock that moonwalked in its socks.
I rummaged through a pickle jar that hummed a jazzy tune,
Then chased a flying vacuum that kept orbiting the moon.
I questioned every doodle‑beast who claimed to “guard the prize,”
But all they did was wink at me with suspicious eyes.

VERSE 2

I checked the pantry, checked the porch, the rafters and the floor,
I checked a hat I never owned and found three hats more.
I checked a bowl of jellybeans that argued with a pear,
And a cardboard box that shouted, “Hey! No lottery in here!”
I checked a fishbowl on a skateboard rolling through the hall,
Where a goldfish wearing goggles yelled, “No ticket here at all!”
I checked a teapot on a seesaw balanced on a yak,
Who said, “If you hid it here, my friend, you’re never getting it back.”

CHORUS

VERSE 3

I checked a rocket made of jelly mixed with honey flavored jam,
Where jellybeans saluted me and shouted, “We yam what we yam!”
I checked a lunchbox on a unicycle spinning on one wheel,
Balanced by a dancing duck who screamed, “You can’t be real!”

I checked a mountaintop of cheese where geese in goggles sneeze,
And a shoebox full of socks that whispered, “Try the floorboards, please.”
But every place I searched just made my sanity unglue,
For losing ten million dollars is a thing you shouldn’t do.

CHORUS (FINAL)

VERSE 4 (ENDING)

At last I grabbed my car keys, heading to my lawyer’s place,
With losing tickets stacked so high they nearly hid my face.
I reached into my pocket for the keys with trembling knees…
And there it was—the winning ticket—crumpled right behind my keys.

For ten long years I played those numbers, steady as can be, Same scribbles on the slip each week, a ritual for me. But now they hit—ten million bucks!—I nearly fainted dead, Until I checked my wallet … and the ticket wasn’t there instead. I tore apart my living room, the lamps, the couch, the chair, I even checked the cookie jar that never held a cookie there. My heartbeat thumped like thunder as I searched in disbelief, For losing ten million dollars is a very special kind of grief.
