Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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
