Luck

A Matter of Luck

Luck is a special word

Usually meaning good fortune and fame;

However, many who are blessed with it

Are met with misfortune and defame.

Few who win large lotteries?

Know not how to handle wealth,

Because it is something they never had

That attracts many strangers bent on stealth.

The old adage, ”a fool and his money are soon parted”

Seems to be the norm

For those who gain sudden wealth

To which they were not highborn.
