I have walked over pavement cracks too long.
Avoiding issues associated with misfortune.
Hiding from ******* birds with white patches in places.
I bow honour and respect in love to such birds.
I say hello to them in passing.
Not sure why I do.
Count numbers in flocks that swoop,
Worries carried betwixt bright coloured beaks.
I never walk under ladders.
Sensible eh.
Never had a can of paint as crowning glory.
I do however play the slots
Never had luck that's bad.
Nor luck that's good.
Luck's carried in many disguises.
Only the wise listen to advice.
The magpie captures gold and gems.
Magpies' lady lucks only friends.
