Life's Confusing

A little bit of fun, but not completely fabricated?

 

All I’ve learnt is life’s confusing

There are so many things that I don’t get

I’ve tried to come up with the answers

But I’ve thought of nothing yet.

 

Why do ladybirds have spots?

What’s wrong with stripes or squares or dashes?

Why are there so many types of potato?

All they do is get put in mashes

 

Why is it octopi have eight legs?

Why not three or six or nine?

Why cant people lick their elbows?

I have tried and I can’t lick mine

 

How come birds always poop on windows?

We don’t go and poop on theirs

And why doesn’t everyone live on one floor?

Life would be easy without so many stairs

 

Why doesn’t life have background music?

Why do shopping trolleys go the wrong way?

How come foods sold in all the wrong sizes?

How is it kids always know what to say?

 

Why can’t you do things when someone’s watching?

Yet you always trip over when somebody’s there

Why don’t the key’s stay where you left them?

Why don’t Siamese cats have hair?

 

The one day you’re late the buses are early

Why is it that breaking mirrors is cursed?

Why’d men go first in scary situations?

What ever happened to ladies first?

 

Why can’t a crocodile stick out its tongue?

Why cant an old person’s hair change, say blue?

Why does the cat food always smell so darn tasty?

And why when you need it can’t you find the loo?

 

Why do you laugh when somebody gets hurt?

How do ironed shirts get creased so so fast?

Why do you only recognise people

A couple of seconds after they’ve driven past?

 

Why is it tasty food is always unhealthy?

Why do men call their cars by ‘she’?

How come the worst pain is felt on the inside?

And why aren’t flat pack things easy?

 

Why am I asking so many questions?

I know a good answer doesn’t exist

It’s just the way the world keeps spinning

A mass of curiosities hidden by mist.

Very nice journey to a Land of questions. Some were humorous and downright funny.

"Why'd men go first in scary situations?
What ever happened to ladies first?"

Gosh, I like this part the best. It made me laugh and think. But, geez, you've got so many questions there, and some of them really made me think--why, indeed? I say the last stanza is a good way of summing all the questions. In the end, the answer to all those, is simply because the world is full of mysteries. But that's why it's fun.

This poem is totally awesome. I'm gonna throw it to my library.

Keep Writing. ^___^
