Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Why?

Who knows why

  the bullet missed, or

  the woman kissed?

Who knows why

  the volcano blew, or

  she loves you?

Do you know why

  a stream runs dry, or

  he makes you cry?

What’s the reason for

  the plight of the poor, or

  the knock on the door?

Can you explain

  the roll of the dice, or

  the emotional price?

Who knows why

  bees make honey, or

  words are funny?

Who knows why

  we never run dry

  of asking

  why?

or Me? (sigh)...
Only Goodness knows Dave my friend...
Why?

Nice one mate...
