Whose Dog Is It Anyway

And so it is And so it was And so shall always be This group of smartly sounding words Leaves little hope for you or me Can what will be, be If what was, wasn’t Because what is, isn’t If the truth becomes the lie And the lie follows suit Would that make seeking either A trivial pursuit These questions seek no answer They sit idle in a fog Amused by the lunacy The tail chasing the dog

I was very amused but this is not lunacy. What will be, must take place. What was cannot be changed. And what is isn’t always what it seems to be. Your thoughts could leave one lost in a maze unless one follows you.

Brilliantly phrased conundrum, John. Perhaps we should ask the politicians…. That’ll confuse them! Thoroughly enjoyed
