    Learning the meaning of Why
    Why not?
    Because you are a child,
    And I said so.

    Why not?
    It's bad for you
    And you're not supposed to do it.

    Why not?
    Yes, why not?
    Because I can.
    Because I want.

    Why not?
    Because I can.
    Because I want
    Just because I can, doesn't mean I should.

    Why not?
    Because now I know why.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
