Why, oh why?

Not 'why, oh why?' do I drink too much and fall asleep at 9 o'clock?

Not 'why, oh why?' do I get up at 3am when I could doze for another hour or so?

But why, oh why do I put the radio on and listen to Test Match Special in the vain hope that I might hear good news from Australia?

Why, oh why do I keep saying 'just one more over and then I'll read a book or watch a film or write a sonnet' before wasting another hour torturing myself?

Why, oh why do I never learn?
