Luck, among other things.

 I haven't had a bit of luck since 1982;

and so I think my sinking ship must now be overdue.

 When at last it does arrive, with treasure loaded down --

I'll miss my step upon the pier and like enough I'll drown.


Bob Cummings was an actor rare;

he kept his figure and his hair.

In movies, radio, TV,

he was the perfect droll emcee.

The reason for this rhyming phlegm --

 he's on all night on TCM.


I wished upon a star one eve

about my upper-most pet peeve.

 That lying politicians fry

as cooks in any junior high.

Failing that, I'd be content

to see them barreled to ferment.

(or buried underneath cement.)
