Hydrogen Helium
Lithium Beryllium
Let me speak
To you of science.
Heat rises Apples fall
Tides turn as do Turbines.
Sound travels Light refracts
And there’s a Mirror in the sky.
Atoms split Nuclei react
Particles accelerate
‘Cause the Universe’s
Expanding.
Then there’s that thing
Called Cyberspace.
Money matters
Truth will out
And where does
That all lead us?
Beer brews Cultures work
Microbes how they flourish.
Hair grows Blood flows
DNA tells all about us.
Volcanoes spew
Glaciers calf
Sand dunes creep
And here I stand…undaunted.
