Third Grade Science Class
by
Donal Mahoney

The teacher tells the third grade
the order of the seasons
cannot be changed.

Summer, fall, winter, spring
arrive in order, then start over.
The hour the sun comes up

cannot be altered either.
Like the seasons, the sun
follows its own order.

Little Herbie mystified
decides to ask a question:
“Where does order come from?"

The teacher tells Herbie
the Big Bang brought order.
Nothing existed before

the Big Bang went off.
The universe was born
and brought order with it.

Then Herbie asks what caused
the Big Bang and the teacher says
“We'll discuss that after class."
