Making Make Believe
by Paul Yanuziello
Making make believe,
that’s what life should be.
When I was growing up,
a long, long time ago,
the promises I made,
to never take life too seriously,
we’re all about make believe.
Make believe was so easy,
like making life ought to be.
Playing games, hopping, skipping
and jumping into adventure,
not a worry in the world.
Our only care, of drowning after lunch,
or becoming lunch,
for the wild animals in our dreams.
Make believe, I try and try,
to make believe that life will be,
as life ought to be.
When I was young,
a long, long time ago.
Make believe was easy to do.
All I had to do was close my eyes.
Make believe would come over me,
all my dreams would come true.
I would live the happily ever after,
in my castle by the sea.
Making make believe,
that’s my life,
my life of make believe.
