Say a prayer beside your bed
Hope that you don't wake up dead
Throw the salt and knock on wood
so that all your luck is good
Spit three times and close the books
Make sure that you count the rooks
Leave the house the way you came
If you don't, then you're to blame
Charms ward off the evil eye
Keep one close and don't ask why
Mend your clothes and chew a thread
Cut a cross into your bread
Bird in house and hat on bed
Both bad signs, will lead to dread
Close the casket when you die
Fear to look death in the eye
Hang a horseshoe on your door
Don't let luck spill on the floor
If you think that it's a game
Burn in Hell's eternal flame
You must watch each step you take
I tell you this for your own sake.

Weirdest PSA ever! *furiously copies it all down*
Firstly, I wasn't aware of many of these superstitions (the number and dversity, wow). Secondly, "Superstition ain't the way.", thus spoke Stevie Wonder. :)
A delightful read anyhow. Loved it!
