Gold

Gold is lucky - so some believe 
but I'm not sure - and here's why
I had an accident with my ring
which nearly brought a tear to my eye

I now have ring but on my little finger
because my precious wedding band broke 
this I found to be most upsetting
because I'm a very sensitive bloke 

I caught my ring on a passing handle
and nearly lost my finger!
so there it lays in a bottom draw
forever more to linger 
(the ring not my finger BTW!)

so now I wear a different ring
it's still a band of gold
it was my grandads Cignet ring
well that's what I've been told!

A colliery man; a musical man
he played in the colliery band
so happy am I to know that I 
have his gold on my left hand!

So...
Gold - lucky? Maybe not!
my ring-finger is still in pain
at least I have what's left of my ring
and didn't 
loose it
down a drain

...and I've still got my ring - repurposed 
wrapped around a golden chain
