When Scientists we all become

When Scientists we all become

"We will be doing some project work",
I said.
"Project work? What is that?"
Suprised, confused, they exclaimed.

"You will be making things, things that you want.
It's a practical.",
I said.

"Practical?"
They gave me suprised look.
"But practical is what we always did at last.
We did nothing but filled some lines in the Practical Book."

"Is it? We will be doing something new.",
I said.
"Make a balloon powered car, make a herbarium.
You may make a booklet of plants.
It needn't be fancy as a rocket.
Make a doko, do some pottery. You might make a clay locket."

"You might want to cook something nice
and observe the science behind.
Science is nothing,
but what you apply and what you can find."

"Cook? Whoa!"
Sparkled eyes, excited mind.
"Even cooking can be a project?"
"We are starting new, we are starting fresh.
Let's begin and not be very late."

Come, join us, you all,
come, come.
The world shall see,
when SCIENTISTS we all become.
