Prediction

I would predict a landslide (Blue!)

Without a hint of déjà vu

But superstition rears its head

And warns me to shut up instead

 

Or else I would absorb the blame

If vic’try came to What’s-His-Name.

The reason why might give you pause –

A kinnehura*’d be the cause.

 

*a pronouncement indicating good fortune

which should not be uttered for fear of

attracting the “evil eye.” (Yiddish)
