* * *

I wonder why I wear a tie. It is not warm to wear;

But if I left it off someone would say it was not there.

 

I wonder, if I took a whiff of father's pipe for fun,

Would I be big and strong like him, or just his small, sick son?

 

I wonder when our old white hen will know her squawk betrays her.

I think she lets us find her eggs just so that we shall praise her.
