Asking, Merely Asking

My friend, why have you spun out of joint?
Or am I now cross-eyed?
Is one of us running out of rhythm?
Or both spinning in circles?
Why is everything I say just a question?
Can I speak or write a statement?
Would you play Beethoven,
or shall I put on Mozart?
Is this not something I ask you?
So why should this be so?
I will change.
Gosh, I've just made a statement, not asked a question!
Was this not a great conversion?

hmmm, how about putting on some modern rock and roll!! Don't even ask on the classical stuff. I enjoyed your poem. Thanks for paying me a visit.
