No Luck At All Poem by Catman Cohen

Time to buy orchids
But I bought geraniums
Time to buy land
But I bought palladium

If they wanted Yin
I gave them Yang
If they wanted me to dance
That’s when I sang

No luck at all
The dark cloud never leaves me
But still I pray
Each and every day
I pray to my God
Please
Come and forgive me

As stocks were rising
I was selling them short
As the boat set sail
I was left behind at port

Needed penicillin
But the drugstore's closed
Needed hot water
But my pipes just froze

No luck at all
The dark cloud never leaves me
But still I pray
Each and every day
I pray to my God
Please

Oh, God, thank you for my health
Thank you for love
Thank you for the blessings
Coming from above
