THE QUESTION BOY
O WHERE did the fishes come from?
5 And why won't they play with mc?
And what makes the leaves turn pretty?
And who put them on the tree?
And what makes the clouds grow blacker?
And why does the thunder shout?
And where is the fire please tell me,
When I blow the matches out ?
'Most every one thinks it's funny,
Because I say quick, "What for?"
Whenever they tell me something
They never have told before.
Such a lot of things I think of
I want to know all about;
But say! What becomes of the fire,
When I blow the matches out?
