By Accident
A car had an accident with a truck.
Believe it or not this was huge luck.
The female drivers were Howard and Trever .
Simultaneously they both said "well I never"
I was adopted and told I had a sibling but not a boy
I was told the same, and being Howard is no joy
"Our birth Mum insisted we each keep our name"
Hey about this accident, you were to blame!
I've searched for you from Gundagai to Timbuctoo.
It's a miracle the way I finally found you.
I've been looking for you also to the extreme.
But why do you say a miracle? what do you mean?
My daughter has a rare blood complaint.
You must have been sent by a saint.
We need a donor. No family member is suited.
A list of possible matches was disputed.
Her weak little body lies in a ward.
We would pay you all we can afford.
She is tough, a real little survivor,
Now she will live because you're a crummy driver.
Blessed to have found my sister.
Without this accident I may have missed her.
