As I walked I met a black cat
Sitting beside the trash can
Black cat and I
Stared each other in the eye.
His were vivid green
Mine as it’s always been
He meowed a bit
And he moved to my feet.
He looked mighty harmless
His velvety fur was spotless
And since he was nameless
I called him cuteness.
He couldn’t cast any spell
As far as I could tell
It must be an old wives tale
A superstitious belief gone stale.
To paint a poor kitty black
Not cutting it any slack.
I returned to pore over my mail
And indulged in a tall, cold glass of ginger ale.

Superstitions are weird. I don’t know why we believe in some of them.

Pamela, I think that maybe time has given some of the superstition questionable authenticity.

I know what you mean. My wedding was actually on the 13th day in 2013. People couldn’t believe that I had it that day. I did not see what the issue was. It was just another day that happened to be my wedding day. I get it though.

Thanks Deborah. I don’t mind them either. I wonder why people make a fuss over nothing.
