"Why?" eternal question that- An answer sought both near and far- By Kings and Queens, adult and brat From depths of night to highest star. "Why?" must man be born into- A life beset by grief and pain? And why? when once his heart is broke Must he be doomed to love again? "Why?" do children, Oh, so sweet- Grow up to be such human beasts? And why do girls with tender hearts- Love those who seem to care the least? "Why?" an answer always sought- From arctic ice to jungles hot- The answer, friend, before you lies- It's simply this: Pray tell, "Why not?" |

You are on a roll here. this has been great having you posting so much. Good questions-I guess there are just some of us hard heads that have to learn everything the hard way and we make it look bad for the rest of y'all. Lori |
