It truly was a generous accident, call it a fluke
The chances of it happening again, beyond extreme
Two fish crossing paths in an impossibly wide stream
Aligning misperceptions, without sharp rebuke
More orderly a fashion than even the Book of Luke
Such miraculous an action, hard not to be taken for a dream
Crazy like the most ridiculous of plans in a deviants scheme
To arrange for the assassination of a Serbian Archduke
Tribulations and exultations confused like a shredded film spliced
Impossible to determine what's been saved and what was sacrificed
May as well paint a broken finger in place of the nose
And substitute chipped toenails for the jubilant blue eyes
With bright white lightning cracklin' across dark skies
Trade a thousand beautiful posies for one ugly dying rose
