BY JACK PRELUTSKY

СЛОВА:

A сlover B rocket C pocket D more E be F time G discreetly H luck I angry J toast K lovely L unfortunately

I found a four-leaf _1________________

and was happy with my find,

but with _2____to think it over,

I’ve entirely changed my mind.

I concealed it in my_3_______,

safe inside a paper pad,

soon, much swifter than a_4_____,

my good fortune turned to bad.

I smashed my fingers in a door,

I dropped a dozen eggs,

I slipped and tumbled to the floor,

a dog nipped both my legs,

my ring slid down the bathtub drain,

my pen leaked on my shirt,

I barked my shin, I missed my train,

I sat on my dessert.

I broke my brand-new glasses,

and I couldn’t find my keys,

I stepped in spilled molasses,

and was stung by _5____bees.

When the kitten ripped the curtain,

and the _6_____burst into flame,

I was absolutely certain

that the clover was to blame.

I buried it _7_____

in the middle of a field,

now my _8 _____ has changed completely,

and my wounds have almost healed.

If I ever find another,

I will simply let it_9____,

or I’ll give it to my brother—

he deserves it _10___than me.
