Friday the 13th

Bad luck they say
falls on this day
A Friday and Thirteen together.

The superstitions of each on their own
are filled with great displeasure.

Freya must have wept
as they changed her day
from sex, fertility and marriage.

Her poor putty tat
was an evil undoing
A witch was born
from Christianity's brewing.

Pagan Goddess of Evil
was how they recast her
So the day Friday could now be
the day of disaster.

Twas on a Friday
an apple was Bitten
Kicking us out of the Garden of Eden.

Twas on a Friday
a great flood began
and covered all the land.

Twas on a Friday
tongues were tied and
Solomon's temple was toppled.

Twas on a Friday is what they say.
But none of us were there that day.

Thirteen has it's own mixed bag
of fortunes good and bad.
China and Egypt welcome it's pluck
It's just the rest of us who don't recognize it's luck.

Thirteen lunar cycles
could that be the source of discontent?
Matriarchal spirituality that is what you represent.
Then the perfect Twelve moved into your domain.
Your reputation as evil is all that now remains.

A day of dastardly deeds
A day of misfortune and greed
Too many people in the room
A lesson you must heed.

Forget just once and short change royalty
A life long lesson is gleaned.
A baker's dozen is thirteen
to keep you alive and working for the king.

Could it have been that uninvited God
Crazy Loki left out from dinner.
Crashed the party anyway
and no one left a winner.

The Viking's might have had it right
and definitely no one is tougher
Another dinner with 13 guests
Just happens to be the Last Supper.

Bad luck they say

falls on this day
A Friday and Thirteen together.

Believe it or not
it's up to you
I leave it to your pleasure.
