I picked up a penny and thought of luck: And wondered if its existence rang true Because if you bent down, you might get stuck. I don’t think that’s lucky at all. Do you? And what if the dime carried a disease? And you got a bad rash on your face? Well, that just doesn’t seem like luck to me. So why would you risk it in the first place? What if a rabbit’s foot hung off your chest? You would reckon that your fortune was sweet. But I don’t think a rabbit would feel blessed, Wandering around without any feet. So I think I’ll leave the penny untouched And save it for those who do trust in luck
