                 Fate- A Tentative Experiment

There's been a lot written on the subject of fate
As we've gone through the highs and the lows.
(Some of it's rubbish, some of it's great, but the
One thing that's certain is nobody knows.)

The concept's redundant as far as it goes
(It's not really worthy of thought), as
If fate is a myth the discussion ends here...if
It's real, things happen that ought.

You can worry as long (and as loud) as you like
And read horoscopes night and day
And drive yourself crazy through thinking too much, but
'It won't do no good!' as some say....

So as we proceed on our pre-ordained path
I'd hazard (if pushed under oath)
That free-will and fate can (and do!) intertwine
And our destiny combines them both....
