ODE FROM THE ROAD

(Doggerel from a motel room in Terre Haute, Indiana)

Without any warning
One bright April morning
Astrologers found themselves nicked,
The lawmen of Philly
Were driving them silly,
But Saturn they can't contradict.

Using rules of the ancients
The astrologers may chance
To give their opponents the slip,
With Merc. on their side
They may yet turn the tide -
Those stargazers better get hip!!
