An astrologer in downtown Kansas City
Said my stars were perfectly aligned
“Todays the day you’ll meet the love of your life.”
I couldn’t believe that doubtful prediction.
Until in a quaint coffee cafe in another part of the city
While I sipped some exotic Zimbabwe tea
An insanely pretty Lithuania woman
Stopped at the table where I sat, and in a sweet
Lithuanian accent asked if she could sit with me
Speechless, astonished, amazed, I nodded yes.
Then I knew the astrologer had been right.
The prediction was coming true.
As if in a dream, the Lithuanian beauty said,
What’s your sign?
That astrological enquiry was further proof
The reading of the stars had been right.
I smiled gleefully and proudly proclaimed,
“I’m a Pisces, a dreamer of dreams,”
She said “I’m a Leo, you’ll never do.”
