Science Verse
"Amoeba"<br>Don't ever tease a wee amoeba <br>By calling him a her amoeba. <br>And don't call her a him amoeba. <br>Or never he a she amoeba. <br>'Cause whether his or hers amoeba, <br>They too feel like you and meba.<p>What if a boring lesson about the food chain becomes a sing-aloud celebration about predators and prey? A twinkle-twinkle little star transforms into a twinkle-less, sunshine-eating-and rhyming Black Hole? What if amoebas, combustion, metamorphosis, viruses, the creation of the universe are all irresistible, laugh-out-loud poetry? Well, you're thinking in science verse, that's what. And if you can't stop the rhymes . . . the atomic joke is on you. Only the amazing talents of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, the team who created Math Curse, could make science so much fun.</p>
