Paraskevidekatriaphobia

Paraskevidekatriaphobia

Today is just another day
There is nothing here to fear
Up to three and always one
That happens every year

If you believe this day’s bad luck
Then fill your pants with good 
A rabbit’s foot, a four leaf clover
And a horseshoe made of wood

When this day is over
Do not throw those things away
In a month will be another
Friday the thirteenth day
