Dreams Of Fame And Fortune

Dreams, hopes and wishes are fine. Without them life would be without wonder. Just don't let them rule your mind.

Especially Not to Me

Fortune is fickle

Fame’s but a dream it seems...and

Luck favors no one in particular

No matter how much one dreams

That one can beat the system

That one can come out ahead

That that lottery ticket will take them

Entirely out of the red

Just ain’t likely to happen dude (and dudettes)

Unless the stars align

So lose that hapless attitude

before you lose your mind

Don’t lose the dream

just don’t let it seem

The most important thing

That could possibly be

Luck and fame are fickle things

Like lightning strikes you see

Not very likely to happen to you

...And especially not to me...

Author's Note

Take a chance on it. You might get lucky!

Or me.....if lucky at cards unlucky in love is correct , I'm one shite poker player.
Never gonna win a fortune or make a fortune but I'm as happy as a pig in muck.
