Why Does The Sun Do That? Why does the sun come out In a sky of non-stop blue And brighten up the afternoon While I am feeling blue? What happened to those big grey clouds, That rain that drizzled down And made it seem appropriate For me to sit and frown? Why does your old photograph Make me want to smile While I'm quite happy scowling In my oft-adopted style? Why does that old blackbird Sing so gaily in the tree? It's making me feel cheerful. Why can't it let me be? Why do the things around me Tell me to be glad While I have tried so blooming hard To sit here feeling sad? Why do I write a poem Full of the joys of life When I set out intending To write of woes and strife? Why do I want to make you laugh When I could make you cry? Cos I feel very happy But I'm blowed if I know why! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
