Who Which Why

Who decided I would live this life petite?
Who wanted me to act female sweet?
Who decided to kill animals for meat?
What would my grandpa think of a tweet?

Who figured out how to grind up wheat?
Who thought eating raw fish would be a treat?
Who clapped out the first really great beat?
Which card payer thought to cheat?

Why do birds trill and warble, not bleat?
Why do some trousers have a weird pleat?
Who named the first New York City street?
Why are our lives sometimes put on repeat?

Love it! You'll be pleased to know I won't sleep a wink tonight trying to answer these questions. I do know what my grandpa would think of a tweet. He'd be absolutely flabbergasted!

My grandfather would have loved the computer according to my mother.
