Winning the lotto

will change your life

provided the taxes

don't bankrupt you first!

Answer 1

The big question is

Why is lotto won by so few?

Spending to gain

has it's price, I guess.

Good effort - I think you are getting more proverbial than con-verbial Gal!

Answer 2

I would call them proverbs and some of them are a scream.

Very creative.  If you don't make it as a poet you should try philosophy.

Answer 3

Not sure what verb they are but I enjoyed them :) Sorry I didnt emerse myself in books in school, so I am at a loss to tell you what they are but they both humored me and made me think

Answer 4

I'm not telling which is my favorite...hehehe

Answer 5

In my opinion, most of these read like proverbs, although they contain the spirit of the Con-verb. Try setting them up like Neonman's Con-verb. Edit carefully. Example: to cleanse "ourselves" v "You" must first.  It should read "We must first..." Be consistent.
