Born on the cusp
of 'stop' and 'yield'
I did not know
my fate was sealed
no matter how much
I appealed, my stars
could not be concelaed
my entire life
could be revealed
by the daily horror
of my horoscope

I'm a crab because of the cancer sun
And a bull because of the Taurus moon
But you see me as a Gemini, two people
You're a half horse woman Sagittarius
With five capricorn places, lots of goats
But if I'm an ox for the Chinese zodiac
What does that mean for your snake?
Whatever house were born in
This is our house

The Irrational Dozen
It’s all the fault
of those wedge-writing Babylonians
with their number system
based on twelve.
Any fool can see there are
four seasons at most
and five visible planets
epicycling away.
Moon-months get so badly off
from twelve per annum that it takes
a dedicated wizard to decide
how many fudge-days this year.
No wonder that this soup
of history brothed mystery
and hence astrology
because making sense
of irrationality
soon turns to numerology
and thence to fortune-telling
spirituality.

Horoscope Funnies
The Moon is in Popeye
so today harlots will flock around you,
Olive Oyl is passing through Mars
your ways will be blocked by hewn stones,
Because Krazy Kat is ascendant
over Ignatz, flowers will bloom on Uranus.
The owl will nest and hatch in your shadow
thanks to Mercury’s being in Slumberland.
Not all is well with Flaming Carrot on Saturn:
this could lead to you wishing
you’d never been born.
