Why?


Why does there have to be
Such very blusterous weather?
It unsettles me and ruffles my feathers.

Why do there have to be
So many insects?
They bother me. They are alien.

Why does there have to be
Cat sick in your shoe?
I don’t need that, I’m stressed.

Why does Australia have to be
So very far away?
I can’t stand fourteen hours cooped up.

Why does, there, have to be
Popcorn in the cinema?
The smell is enough to make me gyp.

Why does, there, have to be
Shrubbery in the sandwich?
It’s not for me. I’m not a rabbit.

I know the answer, really.
I haven’t learned humility.
I’m not sufficiently humile.
More practice is needed.
