The Mule And The Molecule Poem by Gregory Huyette

This meeting was not liked by the Stubborn Mule,
But he had no choice because Tinsy is his fuel.
Since Tinsy is the smallest thing that there is on earth,
Stubby decided to see just what this little guy was worth.

“Hey Tinsy, you’re so small, I’ll bet you can’t be in a stone.
I’ll bet you live in your own tiny place, just yourself alone.”
Tinsy replied, “Well Stubby, stone and everything is made of me.
Trillions like me are in all things in this world, including your body.”

Stubby thought for a while and then said to his newfound friend,
“Now that I understand, I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to offend.
I think you can explain to my buddies who all of you are.
If they realize that you’re part of them, they’ll treat you like a star! ”

Tinsy replied, “I don’t want them to treat me like a star.
They just need to appreciate that I am a part of what they are.”
Tinsy Molecule and Stubborn Mule now have a life of fun.
They work together and play together since they are really one.
