Augury

I scry through time with a crystal sphere Asking of it my future, both far and near Yet, the images I see were dismally unclear (It should go without saying that I am not a seer) I saw a black dog and it's rather cute It doesn't bark though, perhaps it's mute? Its silky coat shines like freshly ironed suit Is it time to do the laundry? I do not compute Then I saw an owl flying over my house That's great! I hope it'd prey on the mouse Who invaded my dresser and chewed on a blouse The most expensive one too, that dreadful louse! It then displayed my room, and zoomed in on my bed Where someone had left on the pillow an old, felt hat I tap on the hard dome, starting to get mad Can't it show me a sign that can be more easily read? Finally, it shattered, the infernal ball I've been scammed! It couldn’t see the future after all
