What's in a name?

...everything it seems, given the umpteen number of times I have been asked about my 'unusual' id - and so, I present the story behind 'serendipits'...may I (finally!) rest in some peace...amen

‘serendiPITY’ was what I sought to be
‘serendiPITY’ – what I ought to be
but alas! Fate dealt a cruel hand
when a stranger from a foreign land
seized that, which was my strife
oh that scheming little lowlife
left me a fate no worse than a thousand zits
and so, ah well, I settled for ‘serendiPITS’

epilogue: ...and I got them damn zits too
