Things I Wonder About Poem by Stanley Cooper

Lacking a zip code, Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address
Could he have done it with today's mail service or even our U.P.S?

Does the turn of the century turn left or right?
The answer for me is way out of sight
Is the Red Sea red? Is the Dead Sea dead?
Questions like these just boggle my head

'It's my country, you better believe it
If you don't love it, you better leave it'
I wonder if there isn't a better solution
Somewhere written in our grand Constitution

Why does gravity make us fall into place
Yet lighten up when we float in outer-space?

Quandaries for me just seem to abound
For when answers appear, new questions are found

Will I never ever know quite enough
To make me feel I'm enough up to snuff?

I wonder! ! !
