Much superstition is based on something logical

Friday the Thirteenth
By Franklin Price
12/13/2019

Today's another Friday
The thirteenth is its date
Some say that its unlucky
Should take care at any rate

Don't walk under any ladders
Don't let black cats cross your way
If you find a penny, pick it up,
When traveling today

Don't break any mirrors
It's bad luck for seven years
Carry 'round a rabbit's foot
To help allay your fears

The Devil's sign is 666
Bad luck some people say
If you see it, knock on wood
And all will be okay

Cross your fingers, make a wish
Good luck will follow you
If you think, before you act
You'll have good fortune too



FYI
If you want to plan ahead
And superstition is your tune
When a month begins on Sunday,
Friday the thirteenth, coming soon.

If you're counting down to Christmas,
From today it's number one,
I wish you happy holidays
May all your days be fun

Hello Franklin Price, thirteen is just a number, there is nothing bad abut it. Does it mean when born the thirteenth you have bad luck to follow? So feel sorry for thoes born on the 13th. Have a nice day my friend. Merry Christmas. Have a nice day my friend.

Hello Franklin, some people take Firday the 13th very seriously. I feel bad that the black cat gets a bad name. i am fond of black cats. I do not believe in the bad luck of the 13th of Firday. Merry Christmas. Have a nice day my friend. Happpy New Year.

I can't tell from your comment, whether you thought I was serious or just having fun with superstition. Believe me, I was just having fun. Each of us makes our own fortune (luck and superstition usually have very little to do with it). We should never count on either. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
