Fingers Crossed

Neville

Fingers Crossed

 

Take one black cat and two magpies

add three wishes

and a single four leaf clover ..

 

Then shake them all together and you

will have nought but

good luck over and over and over ..

    Wishing you well too )

    And lovely poem . Magpies in twos are supposed to be a sign of good luck .. I’ve seen them in twos several times . Some people say seeing a black cat is bad luck but I’m not sure I believe that ..

      thanking you kindly Violet bluebell (used to be yellow rose) ... I always thought a black cat crossing in front of you was meant to be good luck too .......................................................................... 🙂

            But not one magpie on its own? 'One for sorrow, two for joy.....'
            Erm good wishes, maybe luck too, but I don't believe in it. lol.
            You seen our black cat? Or the tabby one? We have two cats. Ahhh!
            The black one said to me: 'Never mind if I cross your path or not for luck where's me grub?' A talking cat now! lol

              keep taking them pills Mr. O and I suggest doubling up on the red, yellow and green ones before bed 🙂

              Thank you. And all the very best of luck to you too Neville.
              Now there are local witch doctors here (called bomoh) some of whom also practise black magic....

              • Neville


                thank you Roz ...
                when I worked/volunteered at Tanka Tanka psych hospital in Africa a few year ago we had a witch doctor visit three times each week & no kidding ... never once dared to ask his name tho'.....Neville 🙂

                  a good luck charm, in a poem
                  never occurred to me
                  to imbue something tangible
                  in my scribbles
                  (an 'omamori' in a poem)
                  as-ever
                  I read and learn, Hyung
                  thank you!
