I play tag with the inevitable.
It's a beautiful day for fate.
But not today, it won't win.
I guess it will have to wait.

Tag, you're it.
Catch me if you can!
I'm wild and on the run
Gotta postpone the plan.

I'm not giving in today,
the system is not fast enough.
The way I go is not easy
and the road is rough.

Bushes are all over
and wide open spaces
are good for running,
oh, the look on faces!

Time to go now,
I just can't quit,
so my fate, my friend
Tag, you're it!

I've never been the superstitious kind
I don't believe in luck
It's all in the mind
I don't believe a cat has got Nine lives
And I don't mind if I cross my knives

I've walked under ladders
Even spilt salt
And if I've had an accident it's been my own fault

I have got no use for a good luck charms
And up to now I've come to no harm
I do not believe in Astrology
And have no faith in Gypsy Rose Lee

I do not trust the signs of the zodiac
I've even crossed paths with a Jet Black cat
And I am still here this tale to relate
I don't believe in luck
....So it must be fate

Good one Dixie, you are on a roll just lately & churning  'em out with a passion....it's going in the library...

It's so enjoyable watching you write of the up and up...
Makes me smile into my coffee, so envious is my cup...
So run awhile, jump and grin, and then kindly
settle in...
we'll share a bagel, some cream cheese, taking life simple,
because we're at ease!
