Making Sense

For many years I studied hard,
to learn the ways of life.
I analysed the things I found.
in pleasure and in strife.

I searched for sense in all I did,
I looked in every place.
I never found a little bit.
so I gave up the chase.

If I can’t find no sense, I thought,
it’s pointless just to look.
I’ll have to try make some sense,
of things I undertook.

So making sense is what I do,
with things I meet each day.
And really making sense of it,
makes searching go away.

So senseless things I understand,
as silly as they seem.
For making sense of all of them,
helps seeing what they mean.

The moral of this story,
is as senseless as can be.
Don’t look for sense in what I say,
try making it, like me.

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

I thought I was of my trolley
Like Kojack  who sucked his lolly
Intelligence Brains Intellect reigns
Then I just thought “By Golly”

I’ve got it “No-One” knows right or wrong
It was there all along
Like knowing what’s hot and what’s cold
Just accepting what you are told

It’s a balance…. I’m right!!!
From black up to white
You decide what your brain needs to know
Then that’s the right way to go

In a sense you are real
It depends how you feel
Can you stand being the only one right
Give others a hell of a fright

Get on with the Job
The others are odd
It’s they that don’t understand
That’s how I have it Planned

reminds me of an old axim I was once taught,

Seek no other sense when the literal sense makes sense, let it all become nonsense.

...as we continue to make sense of it all...very pleasurable read, well done!
