Red rover, red rover,
send someone right over

But why?

What is the purpose of this silly game and its rules I don't understand?

I think I played it once when I was little

But the memory is hazy thanks to being so old

And I'm pretty sure that part of my brain is covered in dust and cobwebs

So now you may be wondering, "Why write about it, then? What's the point of a poem dedicated to something you can't even remember?"

But I think I can answer both your question and mine with a simple retort:

Why not?
