Its Luck!

Those ladies were back in Trafalgar square today.
You know the ones.
They dress a bit Eastern Block but when they speak it’s always a bit Cockney. I suppose they were going for a Liza Dolittle look.

They were giving out little bits of colored tissue paper held in a carnation shape by a bit of tin foil. Today’s were yellow.
I heard it was a way of choosing a mark. Of culling the herd so to speak.
She said “Flower for ya love?”
I never broke stride and said “No Thank you.” very firmly.
As I proceeded past she added “Its Luck…”

I had to agree. It was entirely Luck. It always is.
