I'll Scry Instead

Dear Madame Maenad, in answer to your ad

I enclose a cheque for eleven pound, ten

My time of birth is nine twenty-three a.m.

Dear Madame be clear

Will I be rich next year

Please send me my birth chart in the s.a.e.

And I'll allow fourteen days for delivery

Up above Venus is in my house

I'm in love with an Aquarius

In the sky, Mars is in retrograde

I'd be richer if that cheque wasn't paid

Dear Miss Rosa Lee

Tell me my destiny

I enclose my vibes with a print of my palm

I'd like the full works, plus the box of assorted charms

Dear Rosa, don't stall

Look in your crystal ball

Please send the tea cup back, as it's part of a set

It's wrapped in cellophane, near the gris-gris and amulet

Up above, Venus is in my house

I'm in love with an Aquarius

In the sky, the moon is in perigee

I'd do better with a fortune cookie

Up above, Venus is in my house

I'm in love with an Aquarius

In the sky, Mars is in retrograde

I'd be richer if that cheque wasn't paid
