Poem Artwork

Who could tell me if there’re feathers in an egg?

How come that a raven has the third leg

Instead of tail? How many tails a tadpole has?

Why a dog might be called a sheep?

Why fire is not hot but water likes flowing?

For how far a mountain gives forth a voice?

Does a wheel tread in the worn-down rut?
 
How come that one eye can hear better

Than another? For how long a finger points?

Where we come to may not be the end?

Why a tortoise is longer than a snake?

Is the carpenter's square is really square?
 
Why a huge compass does not make circle?
 
Why does a chisel surround its handle

Instead of the other way round? Why the shade

Of a flying bird does not move itself?

How come that a bay horse and a black ox

Total three heads? Why a white dog

Is black but a black dog is not white?
 
How come that a motherless calf

Never had its mother? If from a foot-long stick

We every day take the half of it,

In ages it will not be exhausted, but why? . .

Alas, throughout all our lifetime,

Without coming to an end, we just trying

To find the duly answers to these 

And other similar questions; what for?!

I think the point of this poem is asking "Questions,"
that is how one learns, and no question is ridiculous
however trivial it may seem.

Always,
Deborah

Sandie has a good answer. I say, nonsense questions result in nonsense answers.

Why does the chicken cross the road?
