Why?

(Authors note: I wrote this gem in late 1988, just before my 9th birthday. I recently found it while digging through some old boxes at my mother's home. At the time, I was going under the moniker "J.L. Campbell." This was my clever attempt to avoid the teasing that occured when children knew that I had the feminine first name of Jamie.)

My oh my
Bird are flying in the sky.
If you look around you will see a housefly.

So tell me why
are there clouds in the sky?
Do not be shy.
Please do not cry just tell me
why did the man with cancer die?
Did he go to that nice place in the sky.

Just tell me why.
