Because


Because shrimp comes from the ocean

Because it's impossible to lick your elbow

Because lemons are sour

Because patience is a virtue

Because muffins are just ugly cupcakes

Because I'm allergic to avocados

Because the sun sets at seven o'clock in Australia

Because in Topeka, it's illegal to sing the alphabet at night

Because Bonnie Tyler needs a hero

Because three times five equals fifteen

Because macaroni and cheese is God's gift to mankind

Because the Rolling Stones are british

Because my mother is sewing my good pants

Because I just can't let go

Because glue makes me vomit

Because it's just weird to lick a snowglobe

Because I care.
