How I try to woo thee, Queen of Misery,
Lady Luck, with you my checkered history,
So fleeting but filling is that your smile,
Deluded I travel distances longer than miles.
You mock me with a hint of glamor,
You ruin me with a promise to enamor,
Oh Lady, you make me dream unguarded,
So tortuous that road but I've disregarded.
Oh Lady, so whimsical and aloof,
I presume claim on you without proof,
Vexed the Lady, you show such caprice,
Shaking up my life, just as you please.
Once I'd praised you for all I've earned,
Now knocked down, lost, my cheeks are burned,
Jarred, hurt, broke, angry and bleak,
Abandoned by my Queen, what a lucky streak...
