Some Rhymes to Pass the Time

I wrote this because it's important to have a sense of humour about oneself. Ironically, it was about the same time that I realized I really want to pursue philosophy as a profession.

Cheers

"Cheers!" says a man
Holding up his glass and sloshing ceremony on his friends

Why cheer?
Why have I friends? To what ends?
Why gather in dankness and drink down the time?
What is time?
As it passes, as I pass, as we pass away
As it twists and turns and flies and burns
What are we?
What am I?
What is "I"?
The I, the eye.
What is? What is Being?
Is there anything? Can nothing be?
What is "What?"

What?

"Cheers!" says a man
And glasses clink, and we drink
And in a blink it's reasoned all away
