Deep Thoughts
Enveloped in the moonlight
The moon reflects her eyes
She'll never understand it
Even though she tries
She sits beside her window
Lost is distant thought
She ponders, ever waiting
For the answers that she's sought
She wonders about the dinosaurs
"Where did all of them go?"
"Why do we believe in global warming
Because Al Gore told us so?"
"How many licks does it take
To get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?"
"When the aliens land in a farmer's field
Who pays them for their crop?"
"Why are they always asking,
Do you want fries with that?"
"Why do all those Derby Jockeys
Have to were those funny hats?"
"Why is that purple dinosaur
That's on tv. still alive?"
She's seen a Butterball turkey
But what kind of turkey is jive?
She wanders why George Washington
Really cut down that tree?
And why are all the best programs
No longer on tv?
A question mark appears
And hovers over her head
Her husband says, "Knock it off, already,
And bring your butt to bed!"
