By Desdemona

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Today I picked up my phone I called the 900 number on the screen What does Miss. Cleo have in store for me? Well, let's have a listen and see She said "You are a Leo" "And your talented and sweet" "And before Sweetness you know it..." "A fine dark gentleman will knock you off your feet." I laughed at Miss. Cleo I said, "are you really for sure?" "Because I have been sleeping with a married man..." "Some would call me a two bit whore." She said, "young lady don't be afraid" "This man will soon come to pass" "He may tell you he really loves you" "But he just after a piece of your ass!" She then proceeded to tell me This stranger I will meet He will be a handsome fella Whom will sweep me off my feet Cleo then announced to me My job is at a risk "You will find a better job really soon..." "Something involving a secretary holding a floppy disk." She said, "I have some health problems" "Something due to my lower back" She said, "I have a bad case of Carpel tunnel..." "And it's confidence I lack!" I asked "Miss. Cleo how do you know all this?" Before I hung up and said my goodbye's She said, "I just do my Sweetness..." "The cards they never lie!"I know you all think i called Cleo, I didn't. I wouldn't waste my money on her.. Plus this isn't all about me. I sit up late at night and watch these stupid things cuz there is nothing else on. It's just a silly little poem.. :) enjoy Written February 16th, 2002 © on Feb 16 2002 10:27 AM PST, Lee Gillilan   0 • 10
