[hometext] => Explaining the magic we use every day.
[bodytext] => OK, lets explain some stuff; Thats puzzled me for long enough! Some whys and hows of everyday; We know, but cant explain away! If you could move as fast as light; (300 milllon miles of flight; In just one second) you could go; Around the earth 8 times or so! Sound travels with far less power; (700 miles per hour!) Explaining why the lightening flashes; Long before the thunder crashes! If the thunder’s long delayed; We know the lightening’s far away! The quicker that the thunder claps, The closer to the storm were at! -------------------------------------- Heat’s another source of doubt; Used, but seldom thought about! Though we cannot see or hear it; We can tell when we are near it!! Molecules that bump and clash; Warm by friction mighty fast! (When we rub our hands together; They get warm despite the weather) Heat is friction-- when it stops; Temperatures begin to drop. Under pressure stuff is cooled; (Because the molecules can’t MOVE)! Even gases change their state; Slowed by pressure’s concentrate. We can squish a gas so still; It turns to liquid, (super chilled). Freon boils in indoor air; Sucking heat from everywhere! Pressure squeezes heat out, then; The cycle starts up once again! The state that we call "cold" you see; Exists not in reality. Its not a force; but absence of; the motion that makes heat we love! Sound shakes molecules with waves; Heating food in microwaves! Literally, you fry the bacon; ‘Cause inside the bacons shaken! ----------------------------------------- When you think of using light; To find the bathroom late at night; Would you believe me when I say; You use a laser everyday? Just like Star War’s famed light saber; Or a Treckie’s hand-held phaser; Licensed by the FCC; Your Class I Laser plays CDs. ---------------------------------- But the king of mysteries; Must be electricity! Energy that moves so fast; Anywhere it finds a path! Every electrician knows; That molecules lined up in rows; Dont impede the currents flow! (Called conductors, dontcha know)! Paths with molecules astray; Block the current on its way; Insulating us (we pray!) Friction caused by currents flow; Heats up pathways as it goes. Bare wires get so hot they glow! (Thats how toasters toast you know) But current isn’t very wise; It doesnt care the wire’s size! The more you plug; the more you get; Faster, hotter I regret; And the deadliest mistake; Is counting on a fuse to break; Few are left behind to boast sir; If your house becomes a toaster. ------------------------------------ Nature doesnt change her rules; Although we use her force as tools.. Knowledge is there for the finding; And I think it bears reminding: When we make a foolproof tool; Someone makes a better fool! If youve ever walked a dog; You understand this epilog: No harness made is quite as strong; As is the force weve put it on!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
