Lady Luck laughing: <br />“Pick a hand...any hand! ” <br /> <br />I pick the right. <br /> <br />Resting on her palm is <br />the tiniest little beginning. <br /> <br />I ask: <br />“What’s in the left? ” <br /> <br />But she refuses <br />to show me <br /> <br />smiles <br />hides <br /> <br />her hand behind her back <br />holds it high out of reach. <br /> <br />Finally I force her <br />to show me <br /> <br />& reluctantly she <br />shows me <br /> <br />opens her palm. <br /> <br />In it is <br /> <br />The End.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-luck-would-have-it-2/
