I Don'T Know Why
I have no idea why I joined the choir.
What possessed me to jump on such a limb?
No idea why I even qualified.
I couldn't sing a tune then; nor can I now.
My first shot at singing started in high school.
No idea why I even qualified.
Singing tenor, I travelled with our choir as we
competed against other schools in our state.
No idea why I even qualified.
So shy and withdrawn; yet I jumped to the opportunity.
And then, several years later, I joined our church choir.
No idea why I even qualified.
I don't know why I thought about it today, as my wife
and I were chatting and snacking at the kitchen table.
No idea why I even qualified.
It was a rather pleasant 55 year recall; and some mysteries go forever unresolved, and this might just be one of them.
No idea why I even qualified.
