The Questions - Imitation of Ogden Nash

Галина Иззьер
While stupefied by the vastness of the Universe,

I'm trying first

to decipher mysteries on Earth.


To name just a few that create havoc

and bemusement, and often evoke

turmoil in my soul:


-What always happens to the second sock?

The sock, like a magician's assistant, enters the drum

and it's gone...- How come

when I reassemble my car

I always end up with extra parts

(mind you, the car continues to run)?


-And, most of all. I'm bedazzled by these:

If a goose joins the herd,

it becomes one of'em geese,

but the moose, no matter how many of them join forces,

will never amount to meese?
