Probability

by Alankrita

You cannot get
Heads and tails together
When you toss a coin
Nor all numbers
In the throw of a dice
(that’s why the house always wins, y’know.

And events can either happen
Or maybe they won’t
The happening and non-happening
A certainty if both taken into consideration.

Mutual if together, exclusive apart
Two coins (or dice- hey it’s a subject of chance)
Mutually exclusive
Certainly calculate the odds of winning
Big at a race or the market
Just not guaranteeing
Whether you surely will.
