What is best
a tornado or life at rest
a stain on your tie
a button missing on your vest
luck
brought by chance
I went to Spain
but ended up in France
If it weren't for bad luck
I would have no luck at all
how sad that would be
to feel beset
by chance
and not by one's own actions
After a great week
in Vegas
where I never take a chance
my computer gave
up the lively ghost of life
My PT Cruiser
now in the hands of another
gave up the ghost
with noises of horrific pain
My condo filled out
luck comes in threes
with a major water leak from above
causing a mess no less
I just sometimes wonder
whether black cats are bad luck
walking under a ladder
stepping on someone's grave
I like the old tales
superstitions and whispered fears
the old graveyards
under the waning moon
Things are things
and even though they divert life
they also make you believe
that sometimes life is just a rollercoaster
and you can't always
get off.
