Inspired Couplets

For kids, games and sports are a happy dream,

With STEM lessons hidden, it would seem.

Each bounce, sprint, leap, a STEM-filled art,

In every throw, a science plays its part.

Our bodies move, not just with might,

But science, math, and engineering take flight.

A hopscotch grid, a jump with height,

Math dances there, in pure delight.

A building block, a tower tall,

Physics whispers, "Rise above all!"

The body breathes, a wondrous thing,

Not just to leap, or sweetly sing.

Each tiny cell, a coded key,

A science story, wild and free.

Explore the game, explore yourself,

Bio-machine's wisdom on every shelf!
