Lucky or Good?

Post by Lightning Rod » June 5th, 2008, 11:57 am

"I'd rather be lucky than good"
this is what my grandfather used to say
when he made a really good golf shot
that took a fortuitous bounce

being lucky takes preparation
suppose you get a lucky break
and you haven't done your homework?
winning the lottery has ruined many lives

I'd rather be lucky and pretty good.

it's funny, I'm pretty good, but I haven't gotten lucky in a good while....
much complexity within the conservation of words...

Your dry wit and homespun philosophy are used to great effect. I love your work.

thank you John, if I'm anything it's homespun.

When I'm good, I'm lucky.
When I'm lucky, I'm good.

So it goes.
