Do You Question?

Are you an artist? Are you cerebral? Do you love to laugh? Does color and form give you joy? Do you tap your foot when you hear a fun song that is lively? Do you like goofy sounds? Do you enjoy spending time with your friends? Does a really rich desert make you float into a space of eternal bliss? Do you smile when you see a cute dog wagging its tail? Do unusual names of exotic fruits bring on a chuckle? Does a really good looking man make you melt inside? Does a gorgeous woman make you go weak in the knees? Are you content with the ordinary in life and find happiness and joy in everything you gather round you? Does a well drawn cartoon make you want to attach a funny caption? Do you ever want to stop at a large public fountain and dip your hand or foot in the water? Do you seek out interesting people to be around? Have you ever just wanted to give something to someone with no strings attached? Do you like being labeled a Bohemian? If you moved to Paris, would you live on the Left Bank? Do you love? Do you hate? Do you pray? Do you meditate? Have you ever drawn a hot bath and floated till it got cold, while listening to Slim Whitman songs? Do you really believe that those songs could turn Martian's brains to Jelly? Do you believe in Space Aliens? Have you ever purchased a Bra at a Dry Goods store and asked the old Lady next to you to hook the hooks for you as you tried it on in the aisle? Are all your constellations made of Stars that form triangles in the night sky? Do you dream in color? Have you ever smelled something in a dream? Do you collect clipped toenails? Are your favorite books filled with more pictures than words? If asked, could you kiss the ring of the King or Queen? If you did, would you be wondering who kissed it before you and did they have clean lips? Have you ever felt a donkey's nose? Do you worry that you might get fleas if you scratched the back of a cow? Do you wonder what happened to all the ancient gods that lived on Mount Olympus? Do you take your own popcorn to the movies? Have you ever sat next to someone at the movies who brought their Chihuahua with them in their purse? Would  you consider letting your hair grow to a length that would be considered amazing? Have you ever wondered what color are all the atoms in a red jelly bean? Have you given up running through the woods because you think others who see you might think you are insane? Do you fall asleep in Church? Is Church the first place you realized that your could lipsync and no one would know? Do you make up verses to songs based upon what you think the singer is saying? Do you think you might need a hearing aid? Do you scream when you see a tiny bug crawling in your personal space? Have you ever been frightened by someone screaming because they saw a tiny bug crawling in their personal space? Do you talk to yourself? Do you take on both sides of those conversations with yourself? Do you get mad if you make a point that you cannot refute in those kinds of personal debates? Are you spending money like there is no tomorrow? Have you ever wondered where that phrase came from? Did you cry when Bambi's parents got burned up in that forest fire? Have you ever noticed that keyboards have two little raised bumps on the J and the F to help you find where to put your fingers before you start typing? Do you find it rains only on your days off? Do you own a wig and keep it on a manikin head in your living room? If someone says to you, "Duck", do you immediately think of Groucho Marx and his word game? Did you keep your Draft Card or did you burn it? Have you figured out the answer to the question, "if a tree falls in the woods and no is there to hear it, does it make a sound?"? Did you learn how to spell using Phonics? Do you own more than 20 cats? Do Witches really fly around on brooms? Have you ever hugged a Witch? Do you like to hug everyone instead of shake their hands? Do you get a lump in your throat when you hear a Patriotic song? Do you know all the words to the National Anthem? Do you love Ray Charles' version of America the Beautiful more than those sung by choirs? Can you play an instrument? Do you tell people you know 5 languages and can speak them even if it is only one word out of most of those languages? Did you ever put a rubber bulb on the end of the water faucet in your Microbiology lab and turn the water on slowly so that at some time in the future the bulb would fill with water and go flying around the room like a water powered jet airplane? Did you know that glass marbles flatten when dropped from the top of the stairwell of the Physics Math and Astronomy building on campus at U.T. when they hit the floor of the basement? Could you confess to a sin? Have you ever left a tip for a waitress that was insanely too much just because she could carry large trays with grace and swiftness? Have you ever accidentally goosed a waitress in the butte with your elbow as she bent over taking an order for the table behind you as you turned to pick up your dropped napkin? Do you turn beet red when embarrassed? Do you sing in the shower or tub? Have you ever recorded yourself singing in the shower or tub? Do you paint your toenails wild colors and then cover them up with socks? Have you ever considered painting your toenails a different color on each toenail and not wearing socks? As a child, did you ask lots of questions? Did you get answers? Does your kid ask too many questions? Do you give good answers? Do Bell Peppers really cost more if they are red or yellow instead of green? Why does a bell pepper turn colors? Do you make notes in the margins of all your books? Do you leave the bookmarks sticking up out of the pages of your books when you are finished reading them? Did you know I love my Wife? Did you know that my dog would rather have coffee with me than You Know Who? Do you drink too much coffee? Which would you rather have for breakfast, Chocolate filled pastry or Vanilla filled pastry? Would you purchase a Smoking Jacket if you did not smoke? Do you long for the 1960s? Do you have more questions in life than answers? Do you think I could stop asking these questions and go eat breakfast?
