A Microscope, a Telescope

Microbes surround us too tiny to see On ocean floors fish thrive incredibly Out in the cosmos galaxies unending Past the ‘Great Beyond’ Time’s even bending ‘Course, our kids keep saying “Nowhere to go, nothing to do” So tonight I told them “Here’s what for you" A microscope for the ‘miniverse’ you can’t ignore A telescope for the 'maxiverse' you’ll want to explore Marvel at the lives of the infinitesimal ~ Observe an exoplanet festival

Why not give the kids something to do? Some of them will become fascinated too... Thanks, Karen
