‘Why’?

… Well, if there’s heavy metal in Baghdad
And canaries nesting in Stalingrad

If there’s Excellencies in exile
And Lords working the turnstiles

If there’s mis-matched socks in Paris
Supposed vices as ‘life demerits’

If there’s honesty in hum bug
And insects who expect love
If there’s chocolate tea in coffee mugs

Then tell me, please:



Why not?
