Larry Bradfield Poet Couplet

I Think I Know

I think I know why the ocean flows -
And I think I know where the sun goes

I understand what makes the stars shine
And why lovers think the moon sublime

I have learned the math of the ages
Read Shakespeare's original pages

But there are things that I don't know why -
What is it that makes a woman cry?

Oh, there are some things that I don't get
And women is one - that I admit

I told my father about my thirst 
He said,"My son, you are not the first."

I think I know why the ocean flows -
I don't get "love" still it grows and grows
