Good luck credits

one bad deed deserves another

Bad luck,
just deserts,
one bad deed deserves another.

There are things to avoid,
those you cannot,
knowing one from the other.

Consciously not walking under a ladder,
you avoid the bad luck which would ensue.
A ‘good luck credit’, surely ,to you

You are in central London
a biblical night rain falls, glossing.
The only bus, the only one you would avoid.

‘Credit’
You never thought of it that way before.
Cash it in, hop onboard.
