Aunt G Should Be Ursula
She would be the perfect Ursula for Halloween the entire family said.
Aunt G who consumes cinnamon rolls, scones and plenty of bread.
Let’s tell her yelled her cousins, nieces, nephews and grandma too.
Don’t do it! Screeched her husband. That would make her feel blue!
Behind their backs she had been working on a big costume surprise.
She showed

Ursula Shipton Ultimate Fortune Teller
Year 1488
Daring to hide it in verses and score,
Ursula Shipton predicted her scrolls would not be understood until years after her body’s release.
Read aloud by an educated nephew, almost five decades after they were protected by a family of peace.
