Why

I wonder why the sky is blue

And why the grass is green

I wonder why the sea is so full

Of fish I have never seen

I wonder why the sunshine’s so brightly

And why the day turns to night

I wonder why the wind sometimes

 Won’t fly my kite

Where do the flowers go in the winter?

When the snow is on the ground

Where do the birds nest for winter?

When I do not hear a sound

Why do the puddles have rainbows?

Reflecting light through them

Why are there colours in the rainbow?

I do wish I could bottle them

Why can’t my teacher talk in English?

She says I never pronounce my words right

But she doesn’t talk clearly enough for me

She shouts and gives me a fright

I ask her answers to my questions

Of a few she can answer so well

I then turn and ask her this one last question

Why do we get so much homework?

Before she has time to give out to me

There goes the bell
