Sometimes I ponder

The meaning of life

I went yonder

I asked my wife

Nobody told me

It didn’t suffice

I asked a bee

Its answer wasn’t precise

I need a solution

I told myself

A resolution

I kicked a shelf

Then out of the blue

Came a thought

The next day I lay in bed with the flu

And something, is what i caught

An idea that had come

To my mind

I looked at my thumb

I now come to find

That everything has meaning

Including life

Life is for enjoying

This thought came to me in my midlife

I still have hope (and need hope)

Everyone and everything does

I said nope

because

There are buts

In this expression

(some people have so much hope and

value in their lives that they don’t need

any more.)

What’s the meaning of life, what’s

Oh whatever, just enjoy the session

While it lasts

‘Cause there’s so much to enjoy
