     Surely this cannot be deemed a mere Cohencidence. There must be something scientific or theological about it that ought to be investigated.

     9. Is it mere coincidence (Cohencidence!!) that the first and third stanzas have 13 lines and stanza 2 has only 12??????

     Incidentally, if there is a Swan in Ipswich as well, that's a hell of a cohencidence - I remember a very drunken discussion on the Swan in Needham, about that very same topic[1]. IIRC, we eventually decided that there must be some sort of "diced carrot appendix" in the human body, that simply stores all the diced carrot ever eaten by a person, then returns it when needed[2].

     Interestingly, the “Holocaust gassing hysteria” didn’t begin until 1967,
     about the same time that the Jews attacked their Arab neighbors and
     stole their land — that must be just a big Cohencidence! You’d think
     that the Holocaust gassing hysteria would have begun in 1945 or 1946!
