Sometimes I Wonder

By Earl W. PearlPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

I asked lots of questions when I was a youth

I’m still asking questions although I am big

If a rapper is sexy with one golden tooth

Then lipstick is sexy if worn by a pig

Can a man with no arms still be armed with a gun

And why were things always, “Way better back when”

If a moron spelled “funeral” starting with “fun”

Was common sense common as recent as then

If a good witch does bad and a bad one does good

How can we be certain of which witch is which

Would they act like each other if only they could

And if so then why wouldn’t the two of them switch

My dog ate my college philosophy book

Now he sits on the shore and reflects by the sea

Was his eating my hotdog a cannibal look

If so, does that change somehow, his pedigree

If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

Well no wonder that math is a problem for me

I considered a thought that’s a kick in the tush

“Don’t be stopping at two when it could’ve been three”
