Knocks

Plucky 
Unlucky 
Carry on regardless 
What is a sadist 
Without his Chargers 
Tripping and falling over for the amusement of other's 
Fodder for Bird's to drop on
While the bellyaching say
That is supposed to be lucky
But you never see them mucky
Just another day just another way
Life and jokes poke fun at my expense 
That I take it with a stoic reticence 
Because my life has become a pretense 
For hard knocks 
And the only thing that shock's 
Is the release 
Of a peaceful day 
Drum's and crack's 
With hindsight we avoided 
Because they would have destroyed us
And where is the fun in that?
