Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

The scale is so vast, it's hard to understand,
That's 11 and a half days, the viewing's been done.
The scale of these numbers is truly profound,
Comprehending their scale, our minds can't quite sound.
Numbers so big, they're hard to grasp,
Just over 16 minutes, they'd all be done.
The magnitude of these numbers is truly profound,
Over a year and a quarter, the viewing would be.
To see them all one by one, it would take over 250 years, so they say.
Over 8 billion people in the world today,
From thousands to millions, to billions and more,
The sheer size of these numbers, so immense and so grand.
The scale of their size, we can barely clasp.
A hundred million, almost more than believed,
A billion faces, one by one,
The magnitude boggles the mind, like never before.
A hundred thousand, that's a sight to behold,
Over 31 and a half years, the viewing's been done.
A thousand photos, one by one,
Big numbers, big numbers, so hard to comprehend.
Ten thousand faces, one by one,
Ten million people, that's a lot to see,
Over a day and a half, the story's been told.
That's over 11 and a half years, the time it would need.
A million, ten million, a billion round the bend.
That's over 2 and a half hours, all said and done.
A million faces, all looked at one by one,
Comprehending their size, our minds can't quite sound.
