Shadows stretch in the dark night On Friday the 13th and the feeling's wrong Number thirteen in the air and A whisper of 13 echoes everywhere and a Black cat crossing ladder leaned Superstitions often gleaned And Friday the 13th is scary and No sunshine today only gloom today And imagination ignites takes flight Just another day they say so Try smile and face it anyway so Friday the 13th don't you fear for Good fortune might be very near. ©️ 2026 David P Carroll.
