James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Free verse

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
