\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Answer Causes Confusion<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought I would put my mind to the test. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I would get to the bottom of this mess.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Who thought hula hoops would be fun?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Who dreamed up bubble gum?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What color is indigo blue?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Does Braille on drive thru\u2019s make sense to you?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Why does ice expand when you freeze it?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Why isn\u2019t there more padding in a baseball mitt?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If your cold and you\u2019re feet turn blue,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

who cares what color is your tennis shoe?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If movie goers require tickets,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

and cricket is played with wickets.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Why do stamp collectors like to lick it?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Talking bears and singing frogs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

make about as much sense as a driving hog.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What does all this add up to?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe it means I love you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been unable to think straight<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

since the day I realized my fate.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is all still a mystery to me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How in the world could this happen to be?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are beautiful beyond belief.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Spending time with you is a real treat.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are the sweetest thing I know.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are always the best of show.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s the fact that you love me?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The reason why, I cannot see.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll have to just accept it without doubt.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no way to figure it out.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
