Why


"Why" is such a curious word
To question, is its task
Factual answers are preferred
To whatever "why" might ask

Answers like "because" won't do
To "why" it's most reject-able
It doesn't indicate what's true
To "why" it's unacceptable

If "why" includes a "wherefore"
As a notable addition
An answer with a "therefore"
Will indicate cognition

The "Why", related here
Is a querying device
While questioning, it perseveres
For answers most precise

But I sade '' but I will find out not just for you but I'd like to know as well''. So I'd seak anawnser , I say an awnser. As we all know thear is never just the one awnser , to any quesetan.
