Deuteronomy 29:28 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever.

 

I don’t oft reveal my secrets,

But since Halloween’s afoot.

I’ll give you a secret that works a treat,

If you want to affect a result.

 

Scribble in a strange language,

The names bringing your ire.

Screw up the parchment into a ball,

Then throw deep into a fire.

 

Don’t believe my words?

You doubt my power or will?

Check out the score, you might be surprised,

To see Spurs just beat City two nil.
