1 because one's not enough
2 because two's too many
3 because I'm feeling rather there already
4 because a number's just a name
5 because the universe is smiling
6 because in heaven there's no sound
7 because seven's got a sister
8 because Steven is the world
9 because to laugh is to go lightly
10 because eleven's gone too soon

A because a part of me is lonely
B because the freezer's halfway open
C because the dog looks at the highway
D because to die is to go freely
E because effort is tomorrow
F because to feel & **** & fortune
G because I can't predict where I'll see it
H because the parking meter's dry again
I because I am a little lonesome
J because I am trying on a new one
K because calamity is fuller
L because it brings you where it will
M because the carnival is better
N because the clowns have always wondered
O because the watcher's in the rafters
P because potato garlic soup
Q because questioning is laughter
R because regret is faking feelings
S because to stare is to envision
U because the universe is hungry
V because viola! I am mistaken!
W because wondering is wet now
X because excitement leaves me stuck there
Y because Yvette is everlasting & ******
Z because Zenebal Ganoobi
