Stroke of Bad Luck

Not at all nice: In one's hair lice In one’s room mice Weevils in one’s rice In lieu of full cake, a slice One’s highest post “vice”. Permanent ear for advice. A bad throw of Life’s Dice, Quick to itself half disguise, Already on one fixing a price: To The Rest, Worth Thrice A Stroke of humbling bad luck An Eagle makes A Duck!
