The Truth About Psychics

 

By Elton Camp

 

How can people be so easy to deceive

That in “psychics” they will believe?

 

And somehow even fail to understand

Studies show trickery or sleight of hand

 

The Amazing Randi is one I much admire

For he sets the charlatans’ coat tails on fire

 

Hitler was a good example of a believer

But he found astrology to be a deceiver

 

Nostradamus’ rhymes are just silly stuff

Work only because they’re vague enough

 

If many general predictions I should make

The right is remembered, but not the mistake

 

It’s easy and I will right now show the way

Within a year there’ll be a bombing , I say

 

And an important person will be assassinated

The truth of these, in the news will be related

 

If I am proven correct in this little rhyme,

Gullible will say, “He knew ahead of time.”

 

But if my prophecy should happen to fail,

None will recall my quackery so they can rail
