Go Ask Mommy

Since I was a tiny kid, I always had questions,

"Daddy? Why does everybody wait 

until the snow lands on the dirty ground?"

Daddy sat me on his knee,

"Because if they try to catch it falling,

it will disappear."

"And Daddy? Why does the girl dog stay

but the boy dog always runs?"

Daddy said, "Go ask your mother."

Mommy heard from her boudoir,

"I will answer if I can.

It is because," I strained my ears,

"He is a man."
