Happenstance
Happenstance
A puppet once was not amused
Was tired of being tugged and used
He wanted no more of it all
And every time he chose to fall
Whenever he would feel a jerk
That ordered him to jump or twerk
He just lay down and he would sniff
He did not move, he was just stiff
No longer did he want to shake
’cause all this wiggling was just fake
A happy puppet he was not
That’s what his master had forgot
And since he did not seem to care
The puppet gave him a good scare
The master therefore stooped to see
How all of this had come to be
With gentle touch and gentle stroke
He kindly to his puppet spoke
To him it was by happenstance
That his puppet carried on his dance
