Winning Streak
You're not the type who quits
while still ahead
for fear that if you do
you'll end up dead;
and so with game plans new
you go to bed,
shrewd schemes turning and tossing
in your head.
But fickle Fortune hates
long winning streaks,
and strokes of luck it shuns,
at times it seeks;
with the risks of losing
randomly spread,
chances are you'll burst your pride
and lose your bread!
