Fortune Tellers

The gypsy looked in the ball
    It was black, nothing at all
        'Strange' she said ' I see nothing'
               Story of my life

            ~~~      ~~~      ~~~

Tarot reader dealt the cards
   Frowned and said 'It makes no sense'
        'The good and bad are jumbled'
                  Story of my life

            ~~~     ~~~      ~~~

Back to the gypsy I went
   She frowned and said ' I see both
         happiness and disaster'
                Story of my life

                         ~~~
