Soothsayers and fortune tellers in Romania are already unhappy with the government's decision to tax them for plying their trade. A new bill now threatens them with fines, and even time in prison, if their forecasts fail to come true.
What The Hex
They once burned witches at the stake,
But Romania has another take
To back off from all that aggression
Because of the curse known as recession.
They keep a list of all the witches
And a record's kept of all their pitches.
If those predictions don't come true,
The witches could be in quite a stew.
Neglect to live up to all their lines
Could result in hefty fines.
And if their predictions, then, should fail,
The crones could find themselves in jail.
