LIFE IS JUST A DISH OF JELL-O

Life is just a dish of Jell-O
We just jiggle our way through
When we’re finally old and mellow
We find more jiggling to do

Someday when the Jell-O stops
When it has changed shape and form
When it is cleansed with blue raindrops
Another world of Jell-O will be born

The moral of the story is:
Jell-O can never be destroyed
When it sinks into the abyss
It may emerge as an asteroid

Jell-O can’t be created
Nor can it be destroyed
Now that argument abated
And another theory is employed

Life is just a dish of Jell-O
We just jiggle our way through
If we’re nice to the other fellow
He’ll be nice to us too
