Fortune Cookie Surprise

losing dire hope

about the fire in your horoscope

walking a tight rope

working hard not to be broke

but what they pay you
is a bad head squeezing joke

but don't lose hope

don't drop the soap

maybe do a little dope

and definitely don't
hang yourself with a rope

use rhyme to entertain
the mental health scope

casual like
wearing a transparent robe

traversing the literary globe
the path where your destiny unfolds

paved in glittering gold

and you don't even have to kiss a toad
