My Good Luck Charm

by LisaMay

I have a special bond with these
old underpants. My wife may tease
that they are saggy, ripped and thin,
but I will wear a winner's grin.
My 'lucky undies' are the best!
When wearing these, I beat the rest.

At cards or sports, when they are on,
my luck runs true. So, thereupon,
I do conclude that my red briefs
will influence fortune's beliefs.
Why toss some salt or touch some wood?
I wear my pants – results are good.

Oh, special pants, I hold you dear!
I promise I will keep you near.
Though life and luck will often change,
and people think my smell is strange,
you're my best friend, my next-of-skin.
When you are on, my luck is in.
