Life can be a funny old thing,

Full of surprises that make us sing,

From unexpected joys to sudden strife,

It's a rollercoaster ride that tests our life.

We wake up each day to a new surprise,

From the sunshine beaming in our eyes,

To the rain that soaks us to the bone,

Life never ceases to be a wild unknown.

Sometimes it feels like we're on a crazy train,

Going faster and faster without a brake,

With twists and turns that make us dizzy,

And moments of pure joy that make us giddy.

We encounter people who make us smile,

And others who challenge us for a while,

But through it all, we keep on going,

Never knowing what the next day will bring.

Life's absurdities are what make it fun,

Like when we trip and fall, but keep on running,

Or when we laugh at the little things,

And find joy in the chaos life brings.

So embrace the madness and enjoy the ride,

For it's the absurdities that make us thrive,

And remember that life's uncertainties,

Are what makes it a beautiful mystery.
