The Rooster of Luck

eye was a young man growing old 
eye got older somehow no one knoes how 
that rooster that used too is gone 
the bull is the gelding now 
eye started out slow and got slower 
the meadow full of corn is now plowed 
time is a concern of mine never a friend of mine only my enemy time 
So many people unkind 
So many places 
unfathomable graces 
where eye was once eye can never go back 
where is the penny for luck 
where is the family that eye should have 
where is the full bread sack 
show me the dump 
where eye can stay with my sack 
show me my luck
