Inquiring minds need to know
why some things make no sense,
like why the grass is greener
on the other side of the fence?
And why is it when we’re shopping,
looking for pants to wear,
even though we buy just one,
they always come in pairs?
There’s simply no rhyme or reason,
no wisdom, clues, or tips,
that explains why shipments are sent by cars,
and cargo is sent by ships.
Another puzzling question that puts
understanding on the spot,
is why we park on driveways,
and drive on parking lots?
And what about this Teflon,
a modern miracle of man.
If nothing sticks to Teflon,
how'd they stick it to the pan?
These are just a few questions
that keeps us puzzled so.
And we’ll keep searching for the answers,
because inquiring minds need to know.
