For Cloud Believers

FOR CLOUD BELIEVERS No one likes the idea that clouds don’t exist. I hate to burst everyone’s bubble But I’m sorry - rainbows too only subsist In your point of view, check it with Hubble. Nor does darkness have any presence. Behold - Only spaces where light hasn’t yet perpetrated! Nor does science recognize the existence of cold; Only places where heat hasn’t penetrated And a candle flame isn’t really there; Just a hot gas mixture - no difference To the surrounding gases, including air. It has merely reached incandescence. And emptiness doesn’t exist, just degrees Of fullness. And black isn’t there - it’s just The absence of yellows, blues, greens. . . . . Oh, is there nothing left I can trust?

So......when my head is in the clouds,....does that mean I am empty headed??? LOL !! (oh by the way...did you see the image of the non-existing cloud that looked like Mt. Rushmore on the news??....or did I dream that up in my imagination too??) As a scientist, you could host a show on PBS !!
