Divination  

Always be ready for the unexpected.
Someone you have dreamed about may visit.
Better clean house to make the right impression.
There are some things you should not think about.

Someone you have dreamed about may visit.
Is it an old friend you do not recognize?
There are some things you should not think about.
Who is the stranger at the door?

Is it an old friend you do not recognize?
Notice the cool appraisal of his eyes.
Who is the stranger at the door?
You sometimes wonder what you're waiting for.

Notice the cool appraisal of his eyes.
Better clean house to make the right impression.
You sometimes wonder what you're waiting for.
Always be ready for the unexpected.
