POEM: Hyperqueryitis

By Berniegourley @berniegourley

When I was a young boy, earlier than I can remember, I caught hyperqueryitis - a permanent affliction denoted by a propensity to ask "too many damned questions" - or so it was explained to me.

The condition can become exacerbated by certain common treatments - all of which are popular replies of the adult human being, such as:

-"... because it just is, that's why!"

-"... because it's always been that way!"

-"... we'll get there when we get there and not a moment sooner!"

Side-effects may include: the use of words such as: propensity, affliction, and exacerbate; as well as a marked tendency to make up one's own words.
