Why can't a mouse eat a streetcar?
And why does the ivy twine?
Where are the snows of yesteryear?
And why do forks have three tines?

Why is the pure synthesis of the manifold 
of intuition necessary for experience?
Why has it suddenly gotten so cold,
And why would one need the pluperfect tense?

Why would a horseshoe bring good luck to Bohr,
And who pays support for a mandrake root's child?
Whatever happened to poor lost Lenore,
And how long will it take to get nethack compiled?

	The weight of all these questions combined,
	I fear will crush my un-cubical mind.

bacon, fasten with a toothpick, and broil until bacon is crisp.  Replace
charred toothpick with a fresh cocktail pick before serving.
