>>>This is a chant to ward off bad spirits, in otherwords a good luck chant.. >>>However if you count the four-letter words in the chant you find 13, which >>>is considered an unlucky number If you count the letters in the remaining words there are 13 a double whammy on Good Luck. In the other chant Barney recited : "Fly away buzzard, fly away crow, way down south where the winds don't blow, rub your nose and give two winks save us from this awful jinx." There is also 13 four letter words a triple whammy on Barney's good luck.<<<
You're way yonder too deep for me, Vic! I would never have thought of that. It's too bad Barney didn't check that out for himself. Perhaps his luck wouldn't have turned sour. Of course, we all know Barney wasn't the superstitious type -- just cautious!
