Whatever

Whatever

It is what it is, whatever it is
Of that there can be no dispute
For whatever it is, it is what it is
That’s something no one can refute

And although it might be that it might not quite be
What you thought it might be there’s no doubt,
As they say in the biz, it is what it is
It’s not hard to figure it out.

Now perhaps what it could be, is not what it would be
Though just what it should be, who knows,
So whatever it is, it is what it is, 
And that is as far as it goes.

I enjoyed this poem, there is a sense of humor behind it. It reminded me of something Shel Silverstein would write. Keep writing! ~ KR W.
