The Why of Sy

Sy’s from why and I’m from why not
He likes pie with whipped cream top
Why’s desensitized from dreaming
In Pandoras of non-stop

All she did was dance a dance
Around a fire of why not
Why is mired in romance
Of fire’s why’s and visions hot

I don’t ask the whys of any
Island treasure that I’ve got
Such a venture’s horn of plenty
Is a question of why not

Dreamers dream and ships still wander
In a sea of thoughts within
Of Pandora’s quest they ponder
Til their “why not” ship comes in

Hi Liz,

You are so special I just so enjoy these little trips that you share with us, I think I missed the first WHY of all this but its been so fun to see you two at it.
