Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Phoney Psychic

I’m visiting a brand new clairvoyant
if she’s good I’ll be her best client
She’s been recommended to me
though she charges a very high fee

I arrived promptly at a quarter to four
and rapped loudly on her front door
She opened the door wearing a scowl
and spat out these words with a growl


“Who are you  …
 I wasn’t expecting anyone!”


I said you put your profession to shame
and Charlotte-Ann … is a VERY apt name!
