Backhanded Luck

Topic: DarkPoetry



Do you believe in superstictious stories?
...
Well ol` Johnny did,
See a penny
Pick it up
All day long
Have good luck
...
And thats just what johnny did
Seen a copper coin
On the ground
As the penny hid
waiting for the new owner found
...
Johnny picked it up
Slid it in his pocket and started his day.
Soon enough his good luck
Was no more then bad luck...of disaray
...
Johnny lost his money
Could'nt find his keys
Got stung be bees,
The ones that made hunny
...
His car got stolen
Attacked by dogs
Every thing against him, even the gods
With his face still swollen
...
This penny must be great
Would'nt you want it
Have bad luck as long as it sit in your pocket
Poor ol` Johnny, must have been fate.
...
Johnny got struck by a car
Died because of the force
People did'nt even stop, out of remorse
NO hole in one, Not even a par
...
Johnny laid there dead
Mortally injured
As his bad luck renders
With his brains falling out his head.
...
The ambulance finally came
Emptied his pockets
Took his penny
The ambulance crashed
...
The penny to blame
...
Do YOU want to pick up the next penny you see?
Thats right
...
How bad could it be....?

well i pick up lucky quarters only, so this does not apply. clark, what did i tell you about contractions and spelling, you do not want to become like everyone else here! so was the inspiration of this story from being racist against pennies?
