Explanation:
Wouldn't it be fun if
clouds were
castles?
Wouldn't it be fun if the
laundry on the bedroom chair was a
superhero?
Wouldn't it be fun if
rock
mesas on
Mars
were interplanetary monuments to the human face?
Clouds, though, are floating droplets of water and ice.
Laundry is cotton, wool, or plastic, woven into garments.
Famous Martian rock mesas known by names like the
Face on Mars appear quite natural when
seen more clearly on
better images.
Is reality boring?
Nobody knows
why some clouds make rain.
Nobody knows if
life ever developed on
Mars.
Nobody knows why the laundry on the bedroom chair
smells like root beer.
Scientific exploration
can not only resolve mysteries, but uncover
new knowledge, greater mysteries, and
yet deeper questions.
As humanity explores our universe,
perhaps fun --
through discovery --
is just beginning.
