I Wonder
 

I wonder whether, all together, 

You and I and father
Could eat a bun that weighs a ton. 

I'd like to try it, rather.

I wonder why roosters crow 
at dawning of the day.
Is it because they cannot think of something else to say?

I wonder what the Jacks 
have got to laugh and laugh about
I'm sure the worms don't see the joke when Jacky digs them out.

I wonder which is best: 
a rich plum-pudding stuffed with plums,
Or lemon ice, or plain boiled rice, 
or long-division sums.
I wonder why I wear a tie. 
It is not warm to wear;
But if I left it off 
someone would say it was not there.

I wonder, if I took a whiff 
of father's pipe for fun,
Would I be big and strong like him, 
or just his small, sick son?

I wonder when our old white hen 
will know her squawk betrays her.
I think she lets us find her eggs 
just so that we shall praise her.
