A Song For The Ups And Downs

Never Be Tame

There once was a man who asked why,

The sun and the moon filled the sky,

He said with a grin,

“Let chaos begin,

For life’s meaning is just a big lie.”

Absurdity is the name of the game,

Our existence is just a wild flame,

No purpose, no sense,

Just nonsense immense,

Embrace it, and you'll never be tame.

There once was a bird that could talk,

He said, “Why do all try to walk?

Let's fly high and soar free,

And just let it be,

Life's short, so let's squawk and just gawk.”

Absurdity is the name of the game,

Our existence is just a wild flame,

No purpose, no sense,

Just nonsense immense,

Embrace it, and you'll never be tame.

There once was a man who saw life,

As a one big joke, full of strife,

He'd say with a wink,

“Let's have a good drink,

And dance on the edge of a knife.”

Absurdity is the name of the game,

Our existence is just a wild flame,

No purpose, no sense,

Just nonsense immense,

Embrace it, and you'll never be tame.

There once was a world filled with lies,

Where the truth was a clever disguise,

But the absurdist way,

Showed a new path to play,

And the world was seen with new eyes.

Absurdity is the name of the game,

Our existence is just a wild flame,

No purpose, no sense,

Just nonsense immense,

Embrace it, and you'll never be tame.
