Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

S'More Why's

Could you tell me why most hippopotami
Weigh about the same as a truck
In the animal kingdom diets aren't common
So they're really poop out of luck

A donkey with wings or an ass that sings
Quite an image I have in my mind 
Some like listening to a cockatoo warble 
But I think that's quite asinine

Now why do most newborns poop at will
They emerge without any manners
Farting in front of friends and neighbours
Makes you stutter and stammer

When misplacing an important document
You find it in the last place you look
Why not look there in the first place I wonder
You'll be stunned at the short time it took

Admit I ain't perfect but who the hell is
Sometimes I dribble in my beard
Imagine it sounds quite disgusting to you guys
A snack for when bedtime is near

Why do we cringe at the sound of one's nails
Screeching across a blackboard
Sends chills up and down our li'l ole spine
Can feel 'em right now, oh Lord!
