No Sky the Limit

No Sky the Limit

Horoscopes help many to cope, 
Oh how it so pleases the mind, 
How shall they dine on promised red wine, 
It is possible the Medium was lying! 

For me, a Capricorn, ‘not a word of scorn‘, 
I’m a pleasing delight, in her smoky ball’s sight, 
A millionaire I will be by noon, 
Or so she said,  “I will be real soon!” 

Now it is Capricorn and Gemini, 
That fly away and spoon blue sky, 
Their lucky number is eleven, 
Their children will be seven! 

Earth, air, fire and water I smell, 
While the concept of mind doeth swell, 
Monday I’ve landed in jail, 
Wish I had the twenty I gave her for bail!


For and in honor of Nette,
And contest Zodiac Zones

hmmm, I sense a skeptic. hahaha. I never care about astrology for those daily readings, etc. I just enjoy the general descriptions of the signs. I like how you did yours! Good luck in the contest. Andrea
