It Only Just Seems That Way-
Just cause,
Just because it only seems that way
Doesn’t make it so?
It only seems yet that way it seems;
That a firefly is not a fly-it’s a beetle;
As it seems similar looks
A prairie dog is not a dog, but a rodent;
It only just seems that way;
India ink is not from India;
It’s made in Egypt and China;
It only seems yet that way it seems;
Similar?
It only seems that way lead pencil doesn’t contain any lead;
You consumers were lead to believe this,
Pencil are made of wood and graphite;
Just cause,
Just because it only seems that way
Doesn’t make it so?
O’ and a peanut is not a nut, it’s a legume
Seems we been fooled all along;
And a Mexican jumping bean is not a bean, also-
It’s a seed with a Larva inside (just a worm hiding)
It only seems that way
Just cause,
Just because it only seems that way
Doesn’t make it so?
All above so familiar,
Similar?
It only seems that way
