    Learning the meaning of Why
    Why not?
    Because you are a child,
    And I said so.

    Why not?
    It's bad for you
    And you're not supposed to do it.

    Why not?
    Yes, why not?
    Because I can.
    Because I want.

    Why not?
    Because I can.
    Because I want
    Just because I can, doesn't mean I should.

    Why not?
    Because now I know why.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
