Are You Superstitious?

it was a Friday the
thirteenth
a day like any other

blackie the  
cat walked  
underfoot  

which  
threw me off  
balance and  
 
i stepped on a crack  
which  
tripped me up  
 
so i bumped  
the ladder  
as i stumbled under  
 
the paint pail fell  
and whacked  
me in the head  
 
the ladder tipped  
over into the  
wall and  
 
shattered the mirror  
now i have  
thirteen stitches  
 
and my arm’s in a cast  
seven years of bad luck  
coming my way  
 
and  
worst of all  
i can’t find my cat  
 
so if you have  
a grain of salt  
take it  
 
even if  
you’re not  
superstitious
