Oh how many days of thunder have passed by our parasol
of treason in mourning for bats that never experienced
trauma or despair?
Oh how many trays of tundra have amassed toward our
parasol on recent mornings when cats experienced sawdust
in their hair?

I think we should discuss why there particular questions were
asked. I'll state up front that I personally have no idea.

Questions are asked because nobody has no real idea what is going on and
therefore tries to ask someone else to get the second person to think about
it and take the burden off themselves.

Rhetorical questions are asked by people who want to see who actually tries
to answer them.
