A Fool In Luck
Goddamnitall, it's just his luck
to break down on a rainy day,
the money spent to tow the truck
will use a chunk of this week's pay.
It seems each time the family
comes pouring in for barbecue
the rain beats on the canopy,
though when he woke the sky was blue.
Bemoaning every twist of fate
that puts a pebble in his shoe
wastes all his time as blessings wait
uncounted while good luck comes through.
His kids are healthy, grandbabes shine,
his wife's still there. Lay off the whine.
