The Thirteenth
If the thirteenth’s on Friday,
As it is today,
Don’t allow a black cat
To walk into your way.
Keep umbrellas shut tight
Until you are outside
And if ladders are near,
Caution must be applied.
Toss some salt past your shoulder,
But only the left
And if you break a mirror,
You should be bereft.
For this date is unlucky
To those who believe
In these strange superstitions
And the hype they receive.
