Earthshaking fire from the center of the Earth

Will cause tremors around the New City.

Two great rocks will war for a long time,

Then Arethusa will redden a new river.

And DU will show the psychic failures.

All in the year between 1507 and 2297.

She'd buy the tabloids at the end of the year that had "psychic predictions."

On December 31rst we'd look through them.

Some were tossed due to being far too vague.
"A popular TV star will have a tragedy."

Others were just plain obvious.
"There will be trouble in the Middle East."

After those were taken out, over the 5 years we did this, the accuracy rate of these tabloid "psychics?"

Zero.
