Lucky Lou

Lucky Lou was luckier
than anyone the world over.
Lou had ninety rabbits' feet,
his lawn was made of four-leafed clover.
Lou had lots of lucky bracelets1
all adorned2 with lucky charms;
some he wore around his ankles,
others jingled3 on his arms.
Lou would keep his lucky hat on
even while he took a bath.
Black cats always walked behind him
so they wouldn't cross his path.
Never walked beneath a ladder.
Never wore a stitch of black.
Never broke a single mirror.
Never stepped upon a crack.
Lucky Lou was luckier
than anybody else, it's said.
Till the day that grand piano
fell and landed on his head.
