Horoscope

In times of distress when I am losing hope

I find myself browsing online for my horoscope

I consider myself a scientifically oriented, rational person

Sometimes I just want reassurance, a prediction

That everything in life shall fall into place

Once planets align themselves in the right phase

If the prediction happens to be unfavorable

I am more careful, reading something negative enables

Me to be extra cautious throughout the day

So that misfortune does not come my way

*

Most of the time horoscopic predictions

Have a positive spin given to every situation

That is exactly why I look up to my horoscope

To provide my dismal present future hope

My horoscope seriously I rarely take

Decisions based on predictions I do not make

But reading my horoscope is a pastime harmless

It usually puts me in a better mood, I confess
