Luck Rides a Stick Horse
Luck Rides A Stick Horse
Written: by Tom Wright
7/8/2006
If luck is what you’re counting on
A stick horse will always be your steed.
Choose God and a job to rely on instead
Not Casino’s or lottery to fill your need;
You can tell yourself that someone
Always wins and it just might be you.
But a gambler plays the suckers game
Though your reasoning perhaps is true;
People feed quarters into slot machines
And at the tables they tirelessly play.
But most go home with empty pockets
Thinking tomorrow might be the day.
But just as sure as another payday comes
They’re Casino bound and in high gear.
Not seeing themselves for what they are
Dumb Sheep, waiting for the shearer;
