Poetry Prompt Challenge Book

dumb luck

luck has no intelligence
for it you can be dumb
no amount of calculation
can put it beneath your thumb
you might know probability
but it doesn't help too much
in the flipping of a coin
it doesn't help as such
likelihoods aren't certainty
counting cards don't really count
cheating breaks luck's purity
and are worthless in amount
