Supersitition

Superstition

Friday comes fifty two times a year
three labeled the thirteenth,
floor of the Hotel Belvedere,
avoid, take a room on the tenth.
Rabbits foot South Louisiana be
hoo doo stock and trade.
Tie a yellow ribbon, around the old
raccoon penis bone charm, made
simple love potion or sex spell,
full moon, beneath a window,
whisper his name don't yell.
No broken back allow
Stepping on a crack, baby
Black, cat cross your path
you must turn back.
four leaf clover Celts white charm
against bad evil spirits attack.
Amulet, Jew apotropaic arm
located on a Lucky Mojo Curio rack
Shattered mirror broken soul,
Roman seven years trek
to repair the damage toll.
Once laid against the crucifix
of Jesus in biblical times
the Wooden ladder can not fix
its reputation, finds
victim walking under, see
on way to the gallows rope
Lets try knocking on the
god of the trees wood, hope
fill Voodoo queen's purse,
against your opponent she
will cast a curse
making them agree
Fiery Dragon will bring
good fortune to be.
For luck, me I wear a string.
