Sometimes I wonder why the sky is blue,
Or why I don’t have three eyes, four eyes, but only two.
Sometimes I wonder how I can talk,
Or even how I can walk.
Sometimes I wonder why our age doesn’t go down,
Or even why people live in a town.
Sometimes I wonder why girls scream,
Or even why boys can be so mean.
Sometimes I wonder how I think,
Or even how I can blink.
Sometimes I wonder why we eat,
Or even why chocolate is a treat.
Sometimes I wonder who I am,
Or even how to do the Can-Can.
But the thing I wonder about most of all,
Is how do I get out of school?
