Luck
Slim Walter DeTurtlevain
Luck:
"An excuse," say the realistic
"For feeble minds' failure to grasp improbability"
"For hard work, or a lack thereof."
"A treasure," say the daring
"A once-in-a-while gem that could make you
or break you (very painfully)"
"A priceless ally for each and every man" (Or woman!) (Or small (or large) child) (Or nonhuman animal(?))
Oh, Luck
With your... lucky... fingers
Hiding inside a 6-sided die
As it sails through the air,
or
Disguised within 52 cards
Performing a really really really really absurdly complex dance,
or
Prodding a person forwards (or backwards) (or up/down/left/right) (Or any combination of these)
To a "chance" meeting with their future
Friend
Lover
Mailman
Bagpipe instructor...
Is it something I've done?
Something I've said?
Please, oh Luck
Tell me:
Why
Why
Why
Not
Choose
Me?
Luck:
"An excuse," say the realistic
"A treasure," say the daring
"A misspelling," say the profane.
