By Chance, A Proverbial Saying Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

A ripe fruit from a palm tree,
Was just ready for a fall-free,
But a crow that sat o'er it,
By chance, gave it a big jolt.

Can the crow claim its fall,
Or the palm tree that is tall?
This tricky riddle, age old,
Who can have it solved?

Incidence of this kind,
Anyone can almost find,
If such an event happens,
In one's life, by chance.

"Just now I thought of you,
And here I'm meeting you,
You'll live for 100 years, "
Are we not saying this?

Yes, many things do happen,
With no rhyme or reason,
After an unexpected co-incidence,
That always occurs by chance.
