Play it again -- Pick your fortune cookie

Superstitions

Good news!

Older man's worst fear laid to rest today

"No more zipper worries" the cookie told

But then,

Tea leaves read aloud by his dearest friend.

"Bain of mankind, dread of snaps comes to haunt"

Now, on Monday morning, I'm linked with Kerry at the Real Toads, Open Link Monday
Today I am linked with Margaret at the Real Toads, Play it Again, # 7

Margaret's instructions: "... Fortunes, sometime share great wisdom and speak the truth. I thought it would be fun to include a fortune saying in our poem ... Pick one [that] speaks to you. "

[My muse picked one fortune for me, then a tea leaves reading also.]

we've been noticing stranger and stranger fortunes in our cookies lately, most of them not fortunes at all. very odd saying, many of them inspiring much laughter. i think someone is having a great time writing them, somewhere. that is a job i would love to have!!
