A Bunch Of Whys

Could you tell me why most hippopotami

Weigh about the same as a truck

In the animal kingdom diets aren't common

So they're really poop out of luck

A donkey with wings or an ass that sings

Quite an image I have in my mind

Some like listening to a cockatoo warble

But I think that's quite asinine

Now why do most newborns poop at will

They emerge without any manners

Farting in front of friends and neighbours

Sure makes you stutter and stammer

When misplacing an important document

You find it in the last place you look

Why not look there in the first place I wonder

You'll be stunned at the short time it took

Admit I ain't perfect but who the hell is

Sometimes I dribble in my beard

Imagine it sounds quite disgusting to you guys

A snack for when bedtime is near

Why do we cringe at the sound of one's nails

Screeching across a blackboard

Sends chills up and down our li'l ole spines

Can feel 'em right now, oh Lord!
