LUCKLESS by Marion de la Croix

I'm told to write a short story of luck

Unhappily, though I'm inspiration stuck

Even wallowed in some sweet horse muck

In addition, my steed gave me a sympathetic buck

Winston my duck showed disapproval with a cluck

And clucked she did many times did my duck

A chicken for dinner I did furiously pluck

Yet still, I'm denied any stories of luck

For my brain has suddenly become dumbstruck

Ah ha! An idea, then again no, forget it, yuk

I give in, I can't think, so the pen I'll chuck

Off to bed to dream and instead become star struck.
