Making Sense
For many years I’ve studied hard
to learn the ways of life.
I’ve 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’d 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.
