A Spaniel that uses its head 
Can tell when its owner’s unfed 
So instead of a duck
That is down on its luck 
Will deliver a pizza instead...

Who froze in the back of a truck
When found back in town
They said with a frown
There was not enough down on the duck!...

Before fast-food became a fad
Ever ready to pass the buck,
Overweight,down on his luck-
Decided to 'borrow' his school mates'  tuck....

who found himself down on his luck.
When he kicked the tires,
he incurred her ire,
got left by his self-driving truck.

I was really down on my luck,
looked in the mirror - about to chuck,
things seemed at their dimmest,
good luck - at its slimmest...
Sometimes, just gotta say "What the _____!"...

Poor Percy acted like a schmuck 
I guess he was down on his luck
He looked quite a sight
His pants were too tight
He waddled around like a duck

Route 66ish No 16

In Phoenix a guy called 'Old Buck'
Was feeling quite down on his luck,
So to fill in some time
He wrote a new rhyme
Called 'Old age? Well now don't that just suck'!...

There once was a middle aged duck,
Who was just feeling down on his luck,
For himself he felt sorry,
But got hit by a lorry,
And became something that someone could pluck!...

Tom sat there eating the last of his bread,
wondering if the next day he'd get fed,
felt like a dumb cluck,
down on his luck,
till a light went off the top of his head.

Now pouts the ex-president Trumpty
his turkey-day gravy’s all lumpy
he’s down on his luck
for he’s a lame duck
his a** voters threw in the dumpty

Smugness had finally reached its fruition
as unfairly she would jump to conclusions
folks down on their luck would leave her amused
saying this is the unfortunate path that they choose
till one day she got to walk a mile in their shoes

A Chinese professor from Bowes
used chopsticks when picking his nose
He’s down on his luck 
one chopstick got stuck -
he’s skipping his lunch I suppose!

My heart fills with compassion
when I can help someone in need
I shift my mojo into overdrive
and get creative juices flowing
everyone deserves a break
especially when down on their luck
making it my mission to boost them
propelled to launch their dreams

I help only the following two types of people.
Children & The Mentally Disabled.
All other down on their luck people can all go to hell
because most likely they caused their problems of their own free will.
I will Always however help every single other animal.
The distressed and the oppressed of human acts unfathonable....

Mental illness has its own way of breaking our ribs,
When we’re down on our luck,
Locks us up, and make it feel like, in its dungeons of helplessness, we’re forever stuck,
When your heart is overwhelmed with sorrow,
From my comfort fountain, a droplet you can borrow,
I don’t have much to spare,
But maybe it can make you strong enough to bear....

Do you have a mate that you trust
When your down on your luck and a bust
So when you're lying in your hospital bed
And the world held for you nothing but dread

Whom you could ask or tell anything
To discuss your problems that bring
You to your knees seeing no way through
You need a confident that you can lean on too.

A Far Cry 

A far cry from home
A man sat drinking 
Up a storm
2o drinks too sober

Down on his luck
Living by his wits
Down and out

On the street
Of fabled Bangkok
Just another loser

Flotsam white boy
Lost in inner space

Out of his mind
Dreaming dark dreams

As he continued to drink
A far cry from home

   Consumed by doubt, down but not out
     Swig of whiskey tickles the throat
                                      rags for a coat

   Down on his luck, surviving on pluck
     Bums another cigarette
                     breaks out in cold sweat  

   Begs unabashedly
     points to you and me
     Inside, you shudder
       ~ unashamed, I flee

Drinking booze
    Chasing skirts
  What's there to lose
    How can it hurt

  Away from home
    for the very first time
  With room to roam
    on his parents' dime

  Years later, he's clueless
    and down on his luck
  Homeless and shoeless
    but by one thought struck

  He'd lost his way
    ruined his life forever
  Hedonism's not horseplay
    It's simply not very clever...

A down-on-his-luck man frequently visits a tavern to drown his sorrows in alcohol. The bartender has grown accustomed to his face. He always drinks more than he should, and it shows. One fine day, he gets finally banned. He comes back the next day; the bartender orders him to leave and never come back.

Enough is Enough
The bartender has had it
Alcoholic man

I love each one of my dogs I do!
they love me back I know its true
I will never question their love for me
or their undying loyalty.

People can say all they want to say
about my dogs and their doggie ways
without them here my life would suck
I would be like a fool down on his luck.

so dont get between my dogs and I
instead just try to see eye to eye
oh how wonderful it would be
if you shared my love for dogs with me....

I havent been on here much,
Been drivin my ole truck,
Travelin the country over,
Been kinda down on my luck.
Hopefully I will be on more,
Really miss the relaxation,
Really need to take some time off,
Need a little vacation.
Miss the kind people,
And the thoughts they have to share,
I miss the words of wisdom,
And knowing people care.
So I say hi,
To the old and the new,
And keep up the good work,
And may God always be with you....
