Making It Up
We’re making it up
As we go along.
We’re shaking it up,
Can that be wrong?
Doing the frug
To a Bach etude
We don’t mean to
Delude, or is this
Just another fugue?
Call it co-creation,
Evolution, it goes on.
Stop what you’re doing
For just a minute now,
Look up, look down,
Look in, then out
Twist and shout.
We’re making it up
As we go along.
If you don’t like
The tune, then
Change the song.
It’s in your power
It’s within your grasp,
Don’t be fooled again
Walk the straight and
Narrow, follow the
Path of Cupid’s arrow.
Love will lead you to
Where it’s best, shut
Up a bit and let time
Do the rest.
Heavy lifting isn’t
Your gift, so
Keep it light,
It’s quite a sight
All the angels
Or are they birds
Taking flight in
The cerulean sky,
Golden sun, so
Beautiful it makes
You cry. How can
You be missing
These things?
This part, I’m not
making up.
Somebody else
Has spread the
Table, why do you
Persist in playing
The pig and making
A mess? Shut up
A bit, and let time
Do the rest.
