Wh-questions

They are not merely a lesson in a grammar book–
They have goaded us to invent new things,
Discover new Land,
And gather much Knowledge and power.
 
They can be mind - boggling or vexing, no doubt,
When you don’t have   answers for them.
We all have so many Wh-questions
For which nobody has any answers.
 
They can be delicate and very difficult to answer,
Even if one knows their answers.
It all depends on the questioner
And the one questioned:
Why do you smile?
Why don’t you smile and look serious?
Why did you marry me if—?
What are you thinking   always?
What made you do this and not that?
Whom did you give your first kiss?
Who gave you his /her first kiss?
How far have you gone after that?
When did you do it for the first time?
Where did you do it?
The number of Wh-questions is equal to
The number of stars in the sky, isn’t it?
