Unlucky

I’ve got a two-leaf clover
My horseshoe came untied
I always fall short of seven
Bad luck won’t be denied

My rabbit foot has a hang-nail
I’m holding eights and aces
There’s a hole in my dream-catcher
and my gold tooth needs braces

I cannot see my shooting star
that burned out long ago
I’m running now in thirteenth place
behind from the word ‘Go’

I walk under high ladders
and I’m always getting colder
I’ve never thrown a pinch of salt
spilled over my left shoulder

My path's been crossed many times
by many a black cat
I walk around with two left feet
stepping on many a crack

I break a mirror once a year
A thousand shards so sharp
Some day, when I’ve passed away
I won’t be playing the harp

You may put in your 2¢ worth, but I'll only pay you a penny for your thoughts.
