Thanks Dominic for your superb comments especially about Sir Canny Kenny Dalglish, who is probably Scotland's best export legend ever, after Nessie. To go to Liverpool and achieve what he did and then become its player manager and win the double. Thanks again and take care.

Great poem Shaun. I have to say tha, t for some irrational reason, I always avoid the number 13! 7 is my lucky number...I recall that Sir Kenny Dalglish wore the number 7 shirt for Liverpool F.C and always brought us luck with his footballing genius. Anyway my friend it's a salt spilling, black cat crossing one's path inspired 10 from me!

I concur with the meaningful message as embodied in rhe last stanza. Yes, it is simply up to us if we believe or not. As long as it is not detrimental in our life. A one of a kind theme.So unique and brilliantly presented. To my treasure chest.

A very astute observation on people's way of life. Some people believe on lucky charms and superstitions. In fact, to some, it has been embedded in their culture. Yet, if we rely solely on magic charms without hardwork, we will end up to nothing.
