The Clairvoyant

The clairvoyant peered into her clear crystal ball
Her eyes grew big and her nose grew small
“You are doomed!” she proclaimed. “You must exit this place!”
Then her nose disappeared—got sucked into her face
She was just eyes and mouth, and her eyes got gigantic
Her breathing was frenzied, her pupils were frantic
Her eyes getting larger, her limbs shrinking small
Her body turned into the size of a doll
“You are doomed!” she repeated. “You’re certainly cursed!”
Then her eyes grew so huge that I thought they would burst
And they did! And their eye jelly splattered and flew
Landed smack on the walls, like wet, ocular glue
And I couldn’t help then but feel slightly annoyed...
If that is clairvoyance, I’ll stay unclairvoyed.
