Go Retire Psychiatrist

I was watching a show about the prophet Nostradamus last night. Some experts don’t believe he got any of his predictions for the future right. A few will say he got the one about Louis Pasteur correct, which is that he would invent pasteurization. But then others will deny even that. He made his predictions using cryptic quatrains.

Actually, I think I could do a better job.

Quatrain 1

Oumuamua came tumbling from a galaxy far

Other visitors will follow in coming years

In search of the ultimate prune juice bar

To allay deep space radiation fears

Quatrain 2

When all the deer are hunted down

When all the rivers are empty of trout

Then Bigfoot will journey downtown

Where he’ll buy beef jerky from scouts

Quatrain 3

Many will head for Mt. Rushmore someday

When my head is carved next to Lincoln

For that is likely the only way

That all will catch sight of me blinkin’

Quatrain 4

Someday you’ll all know my name

For In the future, cribbage will be famous

As cribbage will be an Olympic game

Won by champion Dr. NostradAmos

Thanks very much.
