Happy Little Raindrops for Children and Liberal Arts Graduates

 

Do you suppose a raindrop laughs as it falls?

Water vapor floating in the sky

Condenses one little molecule at a time

Wrapping around a particle of dust

 

Can you say, “condensation nuclei?”

 

And why would you?

 

And all these tiny droplets join to form

A larger droplet now too heavy for the air

Which playfully sends it sailing back to earth

Where it seeks for a safe place to land

 

“Hooray!” it cries as down-down-down it goes

To land at last upon your little nose!
