Good Fortune

A bottle of champagne in an ice bucket, plus some glasses

inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 26 October 2021, monopolise.

While the rest of the fleet put to sea,
My decrepit boat stayed tied on quay,
But an unforeseen squall,
Came and shipwrecked them all,
Brilliant news, as I’m sure you’ll agree.

  Meh, I just realised it doesn’t scan. There’s a word in there I meant to delete. Better luck tomorrow.

Lastly, you'll find typos here, although I do my best to correct them. There are reasons for this, which you'll discover as you read.
