Life


Life is a game

A big toy

Maybe you get a dame

Maybe she's coy

Maybe you go to school

Maybe you don't get to complete it

You are a fool

And full of wit

Expectations are high

They are also low

You can lie

Or just say no

It's all complicated

Life is just a big mess

You'd be crazy to confess

A tale so congregated

Life can't be redone

So do with it what you will

The victory, however, CAN be won

And everything . . . is still.
