“New Bad Luck”

Counting past 31 to a calendar,

Expecting better on a ballot,
Keeping the one-eyed fish,
Paying to see Aerosmith,
Eating Greek yogurt at Church.

Watching Friday the 13^th then,

Replying to Spam,
Trying to subtract using the Elemental Chart,
Flying over Los Alamos on a Monday,
Eating at Truck Stops on private drives.

Entering a race with your real name,
Going to Bristol for Nascar in March,
Wearing rubber boots on a first date,
Reciting Soft Cell lyrics in class,
Eating solar heated TV dinners.

Any Mexican vacation,

Paying annual membership at a library,
Wearing a wig from a funeral hime,
Observing the mating habits of freshmen,
Eating in the Wal-Mart ‘restaurant’.

Wearing the same colored socks for a test,

Taking pictures in the dark in Englewood,
Running toward the neighbor’s dog Bonkers,
Leaving an IOU as a tip at the A&W,
Eating in Etowah on ANY Monday.
