No Such Luck

A silly poem.

Two complete strangers,

walk separately to a store

One leaves at three,

the other at four

 

The first wants to buy flowers

Passing ads she deems bogus

She starts counting her money

Dropping a penny, without notice

 

The second, an hour later,

Heads to the store for a book

He sees a penny in the road

He walks over to take a look

 

heads up,

Good luck

He looks to his left

To see the lights of a speeding truck.

this is so funny! i love when dark pieces end up humorous. the second stanza's my favorite.

i shouldn't do this, and you don't have to look at it, but it just reminded me (quite a bit actually) of one of my poems http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/freelancejouster/683459/

The sense of irony you used in this was so creative and creative! Love it!

I loved it, and then my jaw dropped at the end! Didn't expect that at all, lol. Made me laugh though. Nice write. :)
