Superstitious Limerick

Superstitious Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Superstitions don’t do any good.
Avoid them? I’d say that you should.
They’re irrational fears
And they merit our sneers.
I must go now and knock on some wood.

(Writer’s Island Prompt: Superstition)

  1. Now that you’ve tempted fate
    I’ll tell you something I hate:
    when things go wrong
    we know all along,
    someone will blame it on the state.

    Kane Ma’am,
    This is a brilliant limerick, paradoxical of sorts. You knocked off all the stupid beliefs but you signed off with ‘touch wood’ All accomplished in a few lines. Brilliant!
