Yesterday
I waited
I waited for Jason Voorhees
I walked under ladders
I broke mirrors
I even bought a black cat
And trained it to cross my path
All the ding dong diddly day long
But nothing happened
It was just another day
Kids went to school
I built something at home
Then I went to work
When I was young
The older kids on the bus
Used to tell me all kinds of stories
Which made me anxiously anticipate
Friday the 13th
Things will happen
Who knows what!
But that’s gone now I guess
Along with it
Most of my enthusiasm
For just about all the holidays
And ‘event’ days
They are just days now
With more traffic
And tourists
To put up with
But it saddens me when I think on it
I wish those days were still special to me
I wish I was still truly believing
That Friday the 13th
Was something to be really leery of
