Valerie Dohren - Enigma

I wonder how it came to be
This thing, and how it baffles me
The reason why I can`t pretend
I simply cannot comprehend

I scratch my head and pout my lips
Then place my hands upon my hips
Round and round the room I pace
With crumpled brow and puzzled face

From dawn through dusk it fills my head
Until it`s time to go to bed
Then lie awake `til break of day
This problem will not go away

Deep in thought my hair I twiddle
If only I could solve this riddle
Some resolution I must find
To pacify this troubled mind

Perplexed, bewildered and nonplussed
To find the answer, then I must
Dissect this thing which bothers me
The truth of it that I might see

That`s it I shout, but then again
The reason why I can`t explain
For as I analyse the clues
There is no answer to this ruse
