The Mystic

Hello sports fans well this is one I quite like but I know the old mystic things been done a ****** times before so go on whoop me! I love it!

Mystic

[A couple enter a mystics tent. She is pregnant. The mystic is sat opposite moving her hands over a crystal ball. She speaks in an over dramatic way]

Wife:
Madame Pomfrey, we’d like you to do a reading for our unborn child.

Pomfrey:
Hmmmmmm! Whoa whoa whoa when……when……is the baby due?

Husband:
Early March.

Pomfrey:
Early March you say.

Woman:
Is that bad?

Pomfrey:
Beware the Ides of March.

Husband:
Oh dear.

Pomfrey:
No no! ‘Tis a goodly omen. It means a baby born at this time will be strong! I see a strong young man. A leader of men!

Woman:
That’s good isn’t it Gerald.

Husband:
Excellent.

Pomfrey:
I’m seeing a great intellect. Mercury will be in retrograde and Mars will be moving this way.

[Makes big circles with her arms]

Woman:
See I told you this was a good idea.

Pomfrey:
Your child will be on the cusp…the cusp of Virgo and Pisces.

Husband:
Is that good as well?

Pomfrey:
[Standing and grabbing crystal ball]

YES! YES! YE…..

[In ordinary voice sitting]

Well no actually. This kid is gonna be butt ugly. I mean face like a f*cking train wreck. Teeth going one way eyes going another and he’ll be as bald as a f*cking coot. If it was an animal they’d shoot him. That’ll be five pounds please.

Wife:
Are you sure?

Pomfrey:
Dead. Now give us the money and f*ck off.

[They pay the money, stand and walk out together]

Husband:
That was a bit of a shock.

Woman:
Yes, well it could have been worse.

Husband:
Really? I suppose so. He will be highly intelligent and a leader of men.

Woman:
Never mind about that. He could have been ginger.

It's a good idea, and it works fairly well. But the pace is uneven, and you kind of split the punch. Maybe the gypsy keeps getting things wrong?

He'll be a leader of men

It's a girl

She'll lead all the men on.

We're Mormons we wouldn't like that.

Till at the end she gets really cross, and says

she'll be a cross eyed shoplifter

are you sure?

I bloody hope so

bloody hell.

Thanks Sooty and Rock. Like your idea. Like you I tend to post sketches that I think need a little something. And I think this could be the little something. More gags as well. Cheers!
