Fate
I tested fate one time to many
And in my haste forgot to run
She wrapped her frigid tentacles
Around me and tossed me towards the sun
Free falling back down to Earth
I foresaw my eminent demise
Fate had other plans for me
An Eagle caught me just in time
He held me with his black talons
His feathers blowing in the breeze
I felt like his little dolly swaying
To and fro on a living trapeze
He tossed me in a giant lake
I landed with a splash
The trout and bass came calling
Trying to engulf my big fat ****
I started paddling for the shore
Avoiding all the hungry fish
Damn Fate was mad at me
But my end was not his wish
I made it to the shoreline
Just a few nips and bites
And crawled up on the beach
Where the kids were flying kites
There I took a nap for I
Was entirely tuckered out
Poor Fate had lost his chance
Thank God I am devout.
