When You Wake Up...

To get out of bed,

     On the same side you got in,

          Keeps bad luck at bay!

Awesome, Tirzah. Great job. All the best in the contest. Thanks for your comments. As to the 5/7/5 I guess thats syllables. I have no business in this contest anyway cause me and syllables are incompatable. If it isn't Rhyme or Limerick I should not get involved. Other forms baffle me. I just thought I'd give this one a shot. Worse that can happen is disqualification. But I appreciate you trying to help me but I'm a lost cause Grammer-wise. Anyway thanks. Have a great day, Ralph.

Interesting, Tirzah. I hadn't heard about this technique to keep "bad luck at bay!" Nicely written senryu and I wish you luck in John's contest! Love, Carolyn
