Things Are Not Always What They Seem Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

things are not always what they seem
golden gleam, emerald stream
things are not always what they seem
better take care in a dream..
clouds fill the sky when they say it's clear
with good cheer Isn't it drear
wrapped in a fog it's crystal clear
things are not all they seem
signs aren't posted
then you're ghosted
suddenly on your own
be wary of all the chary
and keep to the road you've known o
things are not always apropos
watch how you go
don't be the last to know
look for the telltale signs and beware
whenever you walk on air.
