The Fortune Teller
Once I was walking down the street
When a gypsy stepped out to say,
"Read your future for a dollar?"
Back then, for me, an hours pay!
Old and wrinkled was this woman
With a ragged and worn floral dress
With hands bent quite like vulture claws
She offered, "This way and I'll impress!"
I pulled a dime from my pocket
I said, "That's all I have, understand?"
Then quite like magic, I'll admit
The coin disappeared from my hand!
She wrapped the dime in tissue and said
Something Romanian I guess
Then said, "I'll light the big candle"
I was starting to feel some distress!
I said, "I don't have much time",
As I looked down at my watch
Then under her breath she mumbled
Touching my nipples and crotch!
Jumping back I just said, "Hey!"
(All I could think of at the time)
Then I made a hasty retreat
Saying, "Uh, you can keep the dime!"
Since then my libido hit the roof
A blessing and curse in a way
Now I take pause to wonder if,
She put a spell on me that day!
