Lucky

17/02/2021 - Poem a Day Compilation



Don’t you know how lucky you are

With your four-leaf clover in your hand

That you found strolling through the park

On your way to listen to the band?



Don’t you know how lucky you are

With your horseshoes hung above the door

Making sure they’re the right way up

So all the luck doesn’t fall out?



Don’t you know how lucky you are

With your rabbit’s foot on a keychain

Given to you by your grandmother

After she found it in a thrift shop?



Don’t you know how lucky you are

With your wishbone from the chicken

Making sure your wish comes true

Regardless of how ridiculous it is?



Don’t you know how lucky you are

With your dreamcatcher over your bed

Catching those bad dream

And drip feeding you the good ones?



Don’t you know how lucky you are?

        Funny.

        I don’t feel lucky.

        I just feel poor and alone.
