WHY?
Why's a Rhinoceros called a rhinoceros
Or a skunk called a skunk?
Why's a giraffe called a girrafe
Or a chipmunk called a chipmunk?
Why's a cloud called a cloud
Or a tree called a tree?
Why's a house called a house?
It's always puzzled me!
Why's a girl called a girl
Or a boy called a boy?
Why's a flower called a flower
Is it just to annoy?
Why's a coin called a coin
Or a car called a car?
Why's a hand called a hand
Or a star called a star?
If they were called nothing
Then you would agree
But you'd still ask why?
Just like me.
