Great Unanswered Questions of History<br />
Richard Scarsbrook<br />
I wonder if Shakespeare was ever eighteen<br />
Did he work at a gas bar, tell stories for free<br />
Did he hike to the East side to the beatnik cafe<br />
To hide in the shadows and drink underage<br />
I wonder when Plato got his first kiss<br />
When she offered her lips, did he pucker and miss<br />
Did he make up tall tales to tell loafers at school<br />
Did he put on black leather, pretend to be cool<br />
I wonder if Einstein ever worried about<br />
The zits on his face, while he made out<br />
Had the cops in the campground heard the noise in the tent<br />
Had he saved enough money for his college rent<br />
I wonder if Freud got weak in the knees<br />
When a girl like you began to tease<br />
Would you be there beside him when he woke up<br />
Would you head for the sunset with him in his pickup truck<br />
Here tomorrow, gone today<br />
History seems to work that way<br />
Here today, just you and me<br />
As for History, we'll just wait and see<br />
