Judging a Claim By Its Results
Judging a Claim by Its Results
By Elton Camp
It is quite a presumptuous call
Fortune teller sees, knows all
If the future she is able to see
Why in a trailer would she be
If she, in advance, knows all
It includes stocks to rise or fall
And perhaps even better yet
On sports results how to bet
In a mansion she’d reside
And in a limo she’d ride
How little effort it would take
This is how I know she’s fake
(Written after observing a fortune teller advertsing extravagant claims while living in a grubby travel trailer.)
