I
They say that cats are lucky
They say they’ll always thrive
They say they’re just like humans
with character and drive
one thing they don’t tell you
you’re happy to be alive
II
Playing cards with the reaper
as if you have the time
listening to the clock hand
or even the bells chime
wasting your life in a worry
should be considered a crime
III
Getting out when you can get about
Watching the dice as they land
Trying to avoid disappointment
if results are not what you planned
filling a space and enjoying it
and appreciated ? Grand!
