Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Science This Way

I asked someone who ought to know
   a simple question of science.
The answer he gave, “We really don’t know,
   but as for me, it’s this way.”

So I asked another who ought to know,
   an important question of science.
The answer she gave, “We really don’t know,
   but as for me, it’s this way.”

           It’s a mystery:
           How the world was formed,
           The twinkling of stars,
           Why the rain comes down.

           When a baby breathes,
           How the climates change,
           Why the plates move on,
           Does the wind blow free?

So I asked an expert who ought to know,
   a serious question of science.
The answer received, “We really don’t know,
   but as for me, it’s this way.”
