Prompt word: happenstance



Happenstance


I met you on a blind date

arranged by a woman

who knew our parents

but not us.


She thought we liked fine art

but you liked classical music

and I preferred writing.


You lured me with humour

and we've been married 32 years.


Were you my beshert? Fate?

Or happenstance?

  1. Very nice, Barb. As to the final question, isn't everything a sausage of both chance and fate at once?

  2. You may be right about that. But I think that, even if that clueless, well-meaning woman hadn't introduced us, we would have found a way to meet anyway...

    I'm adding a photo of "Under The Arch" by Ken Danby. I had one conversation about Ken Danby with Mrs. Clueless because I had bought his serigraph and she was an early patron of his before he became well-known. I was interested in Ken Danby but not "art in general" at that time.

  3. Whether it be fate or happenstance, the main thing is, you found each other. Happy Anniversary! ☺
