Not only a four-year-old
Will ask it a lot

One has to answer it
Or at least one should try

Meant to understand limitation and possibility
Why, winner of most open-ended question,

The realm of appraisal available in response
Provide sense to still the three letter word’s incessant curiosity

Because this, this, and this
Happened; or did not happen

Or maybe that, that, and that did
Better yet…
This, then that, came together

And it, simply is what it is
So, just because; that’s why
