WHY


WHY?

Why do we have little toes?
Why when they drive, do men pick their nose?
Why do police sound their sirens on empty roads?
Why do I get stuck, when in a hurry behind heavy loads?
Why do football pundits think they’re funny?
Why do we have an Easter bunny?
Why after a few days of sun does it have to rain?
Why so many empty first class carriages on a busy train?
Why do neighbours play their music so loud?
Why do people who dress the same, think they stand out from the crowd?
Why, just before Christmas do people buy so much bread?
Why do families only miss their parents when they’re dead?
Why do we need to eat five a day?
Why do bankers get so much pay?
Why do little men try to be tough?
Why didn’t England appoint Brian Clough?
Why does the Sun still have page three?
Why do I get pain from fluid on the knee?
Why is cows’ milk white, when the grass they eat is green?
Why does the tower of Pisa lean?
Why do men have nipples, but cannot suckle?
Why wrap cheese in wax and call it a truckle?
Why can’t children read at the age of five?
Why keep somebody who wants to die, alive?
Why do our troops die for people who don’t care?
Why do they bother? They don’t want us there.
Why is petrol so ridiculously dear?
Why do taxes go up year on year?
Why do we keep giving billions in foreign aid?
Why do we support military dictators with an arms trade?
Why? Is the question that’s never resolved?
Why do I bother? Why do I get involved?

Phil Hall   April 2012

All children ask why? Being a man I still like to ask the question. I've so many things to ask there may have to be a WHY? part 2.
