The Joy of Certainty

A radio commercial Made me laugh to some extent, Though to California Psychics, That was never their intent. “Experience the joy,” it said, “Of certainty!” For real? A psychic claiming certainty To me has no appeal. Although, to those believers Who give credence to this stuff, Predictions of the future Might be more than bogus fluff. I don’t believe in certainty – The concept’s even strange – For even psychics can’t foresee The ways that life can change.

even if they do possess some type of "powers" (and i'm a skeptic about this stuff), the "certainty" part just got to me. always great to hear from you, jan...

Hi Ilene, I find your poem to be witty and contemplative, as it humorously explores skepticism about 'certainty' in life, especially when claimed by psychics. Only the universe knows; or maybe not. Cheers, Don

I agree with you on that! Great write, Ilene. How have you been? Hope all is well. Thanks for sharing this write! The only thing that doesn't change is change, so those psychics better pipe down.
