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.
