Preschool Play Called Life

Perfectly imperfect, life is just ironic,
   part of it quite tragic, most of it plain comic,
oftentimes it's inane, other times heroic;


   in lighthearted, shallow ways it can be profound,
      its riddles' answers are never finally found,
   its years, too long or too short to go around;


      like a preschool play, innocently hilarious,
         it's bunglings can be so happily spontaneous,
      naive and sincere, just joyfully erroneous!
