Lady Luck

Lady Luck

(Poem by Serenus)

 

Lady, Oh Lady

I really need your touch

I know you’ll make it better

And get me out of this clutch 

 

Just one feel from you

And I will be filled with fortune

I’m not asking for millions, or billions

But I’ll take half of that portion

 

I’m just kidding…

Just checking- are you listening?

I really mean no harm

I’m stressing…

In need of a blessing

So now I’m armed with charms

 

I’m holding tight to my horseshoe

And protecting my 4 leaf clover

Someone took my rabbit’s foot

So I’m always looking over my shoulder

 

Lately

My prosperity

Has been particularly

 Irregular

With depression and disparity

I'm losing clarity

Fighting off all my creditors

 

I can handle this myself

But it’s a gamble, a roll of the dice

I realize, the lows and highs

Are just a part of life

 

Lady, Oh Lady

Your influence just can’t be denied

I hope to stay in your good graces

And far away from your bad side…

This was very fun to read. I guess I never thought of "luck" as a walking personality. But now I see differently. Well done.

[Sirius King]
