Tardigrade In the Miniverse

Tardigrade in the Miniverse

Have you ever seen a Tardigrade?
I doubt it, they’re microscopically small.
Described as Moss Piglets or Water Bears,
Shortish and plump, certainly not tall.

They wouldn’t make very good pets,
But do look kind of cute under a ‘scope.
Mountains to Oceans, even in Space,
Extremist survivors able to cope.

Have you ever seen a Tardigrade?
An expedition on a miniscule crusade.

Well written and so enjoyable! Your write also has me feeling a bit ignorant; I've no clue whether you made up Tardigrade or not (spell checker didn't fuss about its spelling so I'm thinkin' Tardigrade exists in spades but beyond wee are they in spades.) I had a good time! CayCay

Hi CayCay, thanks for your comments, A Tardigrade is indeed a real creature. It is microscopic and very resilient to all environments, regards, Kevin xx
