13 by Thehara

People say 13 is unlucky 

but I don’t really agree,

There’s so much more to a number 

than simply calling it ‘such a bummer’

When you first dive in the pool,

you get praised- ‘you’re so cool’

Get a mobile and sit awhile,

Watch tv all day and smile!

Feel like a queen

on a cloud like dream.

Floating gaily on the breeze,

the most appealing flowers you seize.

7 years of being a teenager

You're respected; an attention-gauger!

Feel like you’re dancing on the moon

or licking Nutella off a spoon.

13 is not unlucky I find

Tut on those who are so behind.

You can’t help it- neither can I

because 13 is an age to fly...
