Sonnet 14

Astrology's not astronomy. Pluck

A star's sign from thin air.  Astronomy -

That's science. Astrology - that's your luck

And lends a horoscope it's quality.

Our stars are perfectly matched! we would tell

Each other in bed;  sly woodworm and wind

Ran rampant round it's squeaky old frame, well

I loved that bed, it was a vintage find.

What would gullible young lovers derive

From a predictive text of Russell's*  art?

Relationships - it's 50:50 thrive;

So why not try believing  stars convert? 

As astral scientists prognosticate,

Let's pin that starstruck hope on our birthdate.
