Things That Make You Go, Hmm
Sometimes I Wonder

Why do bars let you park if you can’t drink and drive
If crime doesn’t pay, how do politicians thrive
Can people grow old in the absence of time
And since crime doesn’t pay, isn’t working a crime
Now how can a battle be called “civil” war
Are the “fruits of a war” a true metaphor
And why was the boxing ring made into a square
What box do the bald check for “color of hair”
We drive on a parkway but in driveways we park
Why “call it a day” when it starts getting dark
A duck swims in water but it never gets wet
How come a psychic doesn’t win every bet
Is the hummingbird simply the happiest bird
And why is “abbreviate” such a long word
If your nickname is “Tiny,” you’re never that thin
When attempting to fail, when you fail do you win
How come feet are what smells but it’s noses that run
Why spell the word “funeral” starting with “fun”
How ironic there’s peace only after a fight
Will you ever arrive on a non-stop flight
There’s hemorrhoids on booty’s and asteroid’s in space
And if chickens act foolish, is egg on their face
If a King’s being used is he somebody’s pawn
Does a vegan’s mouth water when mowing the lawn
