Between Happy Accidents

What they don’t teach you in wonder-tale school
Is that serendipity’s expensive.
Serendipity don’t come cheap. Search costs
Alone are prohibitive, never mind
The nearly impossible trick of it,
To not understand what you’re looking for
Then serendipitously to find it.
If it happens once, that’s fine. If you think
You can have it keep happening, prepare
To pay large between happy accidents.
