How much does a cumulus cloud weigh
How much does the average cumulus cloud weigh?
I watch one glide across the sky at sloth speed
It is fluffy, white and porous with a shine of light blue
Dainty and light, it weighs maybe six pounds I guess
The scientist visiting me laughs.
An average cumulus cloud weighs as much as one hundred elephants.
She is kidding, right?
I stare at the cloud, astounded.
As soon as this know-it-all leaves, I plan to look this up.
