Lady Luck

Lady Luck Spin the wheel my lady luck Let's return a hefty buck She smirked and teased Not quite ready me to please The numbers rolled with every spin Someone else continued to win I cursed her hard under my breath She was going to be my death Suddenly I felt her nudge, Was I too soon, her hard to judge She smiled and winked and in a blink The numbers ran like Bolt Husain, I was about to go insane My bets increased as I won more My thundering claps, my gleeful roar I was not greedy just chasing losses My hard earned money, often, away she tosses She willingly obliged and smiled I knew she was serious, she never lied My chip stack grew and grew many tips their way I threw She whispered gently, she needs to go Others needed her even more I swear I heard her whisper to me, TAKE IT NOW WALK OUT THE DOOR Lady luck was very kind My anger, rage, just made me blind When you lose, don't chase the loss Walk away show them, who's boss
