Thank you, Max. I liked both your poems but your second poem more than your first, though you had me worried since I didn't see the punchline coming. Congratulations on the baby! There's really nothing better.
One more try:
Lament for a Lost Rabbit's Foot
I've lost the lucky rabbit's foot
I bought when I was ten,
and though I must admit my life
has not gone well since then
(bad health, bad marriage, bad divorce),
make no mistake about it:
life's bound get a whole lot worse
in years to come without it.
