Coincidence (The Ballad of Spike)

Their was a young duckling

And a small piglet suckling,

Both unaware of the other.

They were quite alike,

Since they both were named Spike,

And they both had a father and mother.

 

While Spike the pig

Grew up really big

And eventually turned into sausage.

The duckling, who’s wiser

Is a financial adviser

Who tells wealthy clients of lossage.

 

What a strange happenstance

That despite circumstance

The Spikes never did meet each other.

The pig never learned

That a gold, swimming bird

Had also a father and mother.

 

And the duckling named Spike

He never did hike

or fly past his name-sharer’s farm. Uh…

I think that it’s neat

that the two didn’t meet.

This is solid proof that there’s Karma.

 

Coincidence is fun that way.

That Spike, pig, to duck didn’t say,

“Why hello there chap.

You’ve got wings that can flap,”

Before good duckling Spike flew away.
