Questions
By: Caleb Kestner

A sleep deprived mongoose once wonder a thought

A quick postulation capriciously caught
"Is sleep for the dreaming? Or dreaming the sleep?"
"If I look through a peephole does that make me a peep?"
"Is the sky up above us? Or the earth down below?"
"If your audience is blind can you still have a show?"
"If you smell what you eat can you eat what you smell?"
"If a water-hole's sick. Can it still be a well?"
"If strikers are struck is it just retribution?"
"If you contribute no help is it still contribution?"
These questions were heavy. Too hard to endure.
So he went to a friend and he gave them to her
Ah ha she responded you look quite confused
Me thinks that to much you have recently mused
But answer I will (to the best that I‘m able)
Now please be attentive (don’t chew on the table)
Yes, no, perhaps, I just couldn’t say
No, maybe, yes, it might work that way
I hope I have cleared all the questions you raised
That I’ve answer the musings that had you so dazed
Now if you don’t mind friend I really must go
There are so many others who need what I know
And as she walked off with her confident stride
The mongoose just chuckled then sat back and sighed
I may be confounded confused and confuddled
But at least I admit when I know that I’m muddled
I’d rather ask questions though answers I’ve none
Then pretend that I’ve solved them and prove that I’m dumb
