Small dewdrops on a blade of grass:
A thing you might ignore,
Something unnoticed as you pass.
But if you are an ant whose mass
is smaller by four times or more,
it's something to explore!
A liquid ball suspended there:
It beckons you to play.
You climb the blade with certain care
Till you are high up in the air,
Then poke that droplet right away.
Catch the wave! Seize the day!
Careening down your waterslide
Along that channel thin,
With knuckles white, eyes open wide,
And straying not to either side,
Splash at the bottom for the win!
Find the next! Down again!
