Something puzzled me as a very small boy, and my confusion has deepened ever since. I will try to explain the problem and at the same time respond (as I usually do, in Haiku form) to the the Poets and Storytellers' Friday prompt . . .
WHY?
Why did the chicken?
It's said "Because the higher
the fewer." ??? Search me!
Reminds me of a verse from the Rubyaiyat of Omar Khayyham:
'Myself when young did oft frequent
doctor and saint, and heard much argument
about it and about. But evermore
went out by the selfsame door I came in.'
. . . and I hope that makes everything clear.
