By Anthony Cruikshank
some say the only fate
is what we make
others say it’s written
and you can only take
but who knows that
who would it be
it could be one
but the Greeks say three
the three aspects of fate
have their jobs to do
and why shouldn’t they
they’re people too
Clotho spins your thread
course or fine can be controlled
and whether or not
to break the mold
Lachesis measures your string
luck long life good health
and if she likes you
maybe some wealth
Then there is Atropes
she cuts the thread
be friendly to her
or else be dead
