Thread Name: Origins: Tell Me Why (Parish/Edwards/Spaeth)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tell me why
There's a version my brother, the physics professor, liked to reference.
Tell me why the stars do shine; Tell me why the ivy twines? Tell me why the sky's so blue? And I will tell you just why I love you!
Nuclear fusion makes the stars to shine. Heliotropism makes the ivy twine. Rayleigh scattering makes the sky appear blue. Testosterone-induced hormonal response is why I love you!
(last line has to be intoned really fast to fit the meter).
