We make our own luck.
Must be true
If mine was shop-bought I would sue.
If manufacturers are liable
For products that are unreliable
I clearly let my standards slip
For this is shoddy workmanship.
Fortune's most capricious daughter
Turns my wine back into water,
Always late,
Won't start on hills,
Gets drunk and falls off windowsills.
She comes on strong,
And comes unstuck
But I've grown fond of.
Lady Luck !

Pro Love it - did you write that?
I used to say that if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all, but I guess the wind has changed!
rubychoo
Yes I did.
Get that wind in your hair !
sallyontour
Pro Ooh, you should get that published, you clever girl xxx
my mum told me that there was no such thing as luck..it was all just fate dealing it's hand.

If you had been a girl you might have been called Kay Sara !
How come all the people selling "Lucky Heather" have to survive on selling said lucky plant? If it was that blessed by luck, and they have access to a grove of it, they would be selling it out of the window of a Rolls Royce whilst being driven to the bank to count their millions one more time. As opposed to slapping it on your shoulder in a market/pub/street and displaying their terrible dentistry as they croak "Lucky 'evver darlin?"

I prefer the certainty of chance
And fate
It ain't my mate
rubychoo
Sure as eggs is eggs !
Where ever would I be if not for fate?

Why is luck a lady? Are we personifying luck into a female and calling her a 'lady' so that she will look favourable on us? I think she's more like the child with a magnifying glass that delights in burning insects.
