Prediction
I would predict a landslide (Blue!)
Without a hint of déjà vu
But superstition rears its head
And warns me to shut up instead
Or else I would absorb the blame
If vic’try came to What’s-His-Name.
The reason why might give you pause –
A kinnehura*’d be the cause.
*a pronouncement indicating good fortune
which should not be uttered for fear of
attracting the “evil eye.” (Yiddish)
