53. Spirit of Inquiry-a poem

 


                                      Papa, Papa, why is the sky blue?

                                         Our Earth is surrounded by an atmosphere,

                                    Sun’s white light travels through,

                                 Blue light scatters more strongly than red

                                  That’s why Beta! the sky is blue.

                                                                   =

                                         Mama, Mama, see the Moon

                                                How it is shining!-------

                   Oh Beta, the light is reflected from the sun 
 
                       Shining, you are seeing, is just an illusion.

             The Moon, in fact, acts like a mirror

The light, bouncing  off

 Is making it a thriller
=
            Grandma, Grandma! Why did your hair turn grey?

                          The root of each hair is nested in a follicle                                      
That contains pigment cells.

Pigment cells produce a chemical

‘Melanin’ is called Beta; that chemical 
  
‘Melanin’gives color to hair
Black appears; that’s why your hair.

                                   It is because I am growing                                            
 So pigment cells  started dying

                                      Due to the few that are left
                        My hair appears grey, silver, and white. 
                                                 =
