Pretty Pretty


At the Minnesota Institute of Science, they had an exhibit on light and color which featured a bunch of colored strings hanging in a shadowy space. It's not a hard thing to make a pretty picture out of.


It's pretty enough, I think, to earn a limerick in its honor:


Oh tightly wound pieces of string

With colors that jump, pop and sing

The kids come and look

Instead of reading a book

And I'm not sure they learn anything.


Thank you.
