Fortune

Fortune did not smile upon poor Fortune who had the unfortunate fate of having been named Fortune.

Fortune's parents had figured that they were not very likely to amass a fortune in terms of wealth or power, so they settled for the next best thing: They would have a fortune of mirth at the misfortune of their son Fortune.

Fortune seldom comes twice in life, so Fortune's fortune unfortunately was his name, Fortune. He had nothing to his name, which everyone found hilariously ironic except for Fortune himself.

Fortunes come and fortunes go, and so too was the fate of Fortune.
