Tell Me Why

Please tell me why I need to know before I can say goodbye Like why can I not fly And why do we all eventually die Why is chewing with my mouth open rude Why is farting out loud considered crude Why can’t we make love when you have a headache Why does chocolate cause me a to get a toothache Why is living together before marriage a sin Why can’t a stranger be my next of kin Why do I have to brush my teeth before I sleep Why does the father of the bride weep Why do I have to register to vote Why do castles have a moat Why do people break your heart Why do we call a meat pie a pie and not a tart Why do countries go to war Why do we not eat all of the fruit including the core Why are people so mean Why is a child’s room never clean Why do kids bully others Why do I have a sister but no brothers Why does a man where pants and a woman a skirt Why do you get dirty if you play in the dirt Why do we need to drink and eat Why do vegetarians not eat meat Why do we have to do number one’s and two’s Why can’t you have one-man crew’s Why will an engine not work without oil or grease Why can’t we have world peace Why can’t I have subsequent serves Why do you get on my nerves Why are people homeless Why are probationary drivers reckless Why do some say grace at the table Why to some is the bible not considered fable Why do we as kids have imagainary friends Why is it for some this never ends Why do we not have enough water Why in China do they not want a daughter Why do people commit crimes Why do different states run on different times Why is Mr Howard still in power Why are there sixty minutes in an hour Why do I continue to ask why Simply because I am an inquiring guy I still don’t know why But unfortunately it’s time to say good-bye
