"Why..."

entry picture

The bird in the tree

    looked down at me

And asked

     "Why do you cry?"

 

I told the bird

    "That is absurd.

          There's something in my eye."

 

The bird in the tree

    again spoke to me.

It questioned

     "Why do you lie?"

 

I said to the bird

     "That's rubbish and curd!

             Mind your own, by and by."

 

The bird in the tree

    wanted once more of me.

It's query

    "Why don't you try?"

 

I answered the bird

    with just that one word.

         To the bird, I replied

              "Why..."

That reminds me of my children when they were around two and half three who would say why to everything.
