WHY ?

[Andrew_Marriott]

This was written in an attempt to stop the girlies crying every time I write some poetry, and was inspired by a thread elswhere on the boards.
If you can think of any rhyming couplets that fit in with the poem, let me know, as a friend of mine might make this into a song.

WHY ?

Why do people talk much louder when they're on a mobile phone ?
Why do kids always get messy when they eat an ice-cream cone ?
Why is it that strange noises only happen in the dark ?
Why do I always step in something nasty in the park ?
Why is it when you're vacuuming the cord is just too short ?
Why is it when you're in a rush the printer cries "ABORT" ?
Why is it when you need it, it is no-where to be found ?
Why do they make square yoghurt pots when every spoon in the world is round ?
Why is it when you're in a queue, the other one moves faster ?
Why is it I can never cook perfect 'al dente' pasta ?
Why is it that the shops no longer stock Cremola Foam ?
Why do double glazing salesmen only call when you are home ?
Why is it I'm allergic to cut grass and oil seed rape ?
Why can I never find the end on rolls of sellotape ?
Why does it always rain on barbecues or a parade ?
Why do dogs and horses always know when you're afraid ?
Why is 'cause I'm Scottish folks assume that I like Scotch ?
Why is it my team never wins when I decide to watch ?
Why is it there's no other word that seems to rhyme with orange?
Why do some cry "oh yes there is" and proudly claim "it's DOORHINGE" ?

[Andrew_Marriott]

because it's supposed to be light hearted, not sad and/or meaningful like the other stuff I've posted

Why is it in the theatre, with a show you really want to see
All who sit around you seem to cough incessantly?
Why is it when you want to walk there's taxis all around
But when you really need one there's not one to be one found?
And why do people say, "Good things come to those who wait"
Then you miss some opportunity and told that "You're too late!"
Why is it on the telly you can pick each winning horse
But when your at the race track your bets are way off course?
Why is it when you travel and are determined to pack light
Your schedule seems to require a different outfit every night?
And why is it on a weekend trip the male is so amused
Because the female brought 4 pairs of shoes and only 3 were used?
