Blank Slate

With each blank slate 
You test your fate: 

You screw up once?
Still stand a chance!
You screw up twice?
Comes with a price!
The fourth, the fifth?
You're screwed therewith!
Your strikes go on?
You get withdrawn
From taking part 
In a fresh start!
Despite all thanks 
There’re no more blanks! 

Chances you blew 
Will now screw you!
