without bad luck i'd have no luck at all

is there

such a thing as luck?

good or bad?

being in the right place

at the right time,

turning left

instead of right to avoid

the crash.

picking the winning

numbers,

pulling

the weary arm

of a slot machine

and having the dollars

pour out like rain.

and bad luck, what is that?

not stepping

on the crack,

avoiding

the ladder,

or the black cat

never throwing your hat

onto a bed,

or breaking a mirror

both of which will cause

certain doom.

but perhaps you can avoid

all of that by

rubbing on a rabbit's foot,

now unluckily

for the rabbit,

unattached.
