Notes About The Poem

Maybe superstitions are not so serious after all

Friday the Thirteenth

Friday the Thirteenth
By Franklin Price
1/13/2017

One and thirty days this month,
Twelve have gone by.
The thirteenth is upon us,
Not good, I'll tell you why

Friday, is the reason;
Bad luck for you and me
Have gotten up the courage
Looked through the blinds to see.

A black cat's sitting on my porch.
A ladder's o'er the sash.
I'll make a path around them
When I decide to make my dash

I'll take my rabbit's foot with me.
Incantations I will shout.
Superstitions, I will overcome.
The house I need's not in but out.
