Nice response -- here's mine

Do not pretend to know my name

The words I use are weak and lame

They cannot tell from whence they came

They don’t pretend to know my name

+

There is no reason to say more

I do not know what this is for

There is no why there’s no wherefore

Why is there reason to say more

+

I have an inkling that is all

Our weather changes spring to fall

Still no one know’s what’s past time’s wall

save for an inkling that is all
