Good Luck and Bad Luck

If a falling star has caught your eye
Wish upon it
If a penny falls and lands on heads
Leave it
But, if tails you see pick it up
For that is good luck

Never walk under a ladder
Paint may spill on you
It is bad luck
If your break a mirror
Your troubles will just begin
This is also bad luck

If you have a bad dream
You must have ate garlic
Waking up on the wrong side of the bed
Can only be done on your bad side
Finding a 4-leaf clover can bring good luck
But, you need good luck to find it

Opening an umbrella in the house is not bad luck
It is just stupid how will you get out the door
Throwing your money into a well for a wish
You will wish you had that money one day
Jumping on the bed only brings you bad luck
If your parents catch you

My Mother was Greek and my Father from Yorkshire England between them they had so many superstitions that they decided not to believe in them but as I got to hear about these superstitions, I believed or disbelieved, in all of them! LOL Great write Bobby. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
