The Gospel According To Some Doofus Poet

I like the idea that there was a caveman

Who coincidentally looked like Jesus

And when Jesus’s body was hidden away

The caveman came out just to please us

And seeing society for the first time

He didn’t know what else to do

So he used his caveman magic

And up into heaven he flew.

Meanwhile, actual Jesus

Woke up after three days or so

But everyone said he’d already ascended

And, to heaven, he’d no need to go

So he went back to being a carpenter

And made many beautiful shims

And sent every customer home with a smile

And said many, “Nope, I just look like him”s.

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.
