What are spongy? Nike memory foam trainers, a human brain squashy as putty, a baby’s stomach.

What is hard? A sandstone brick, long division and an ant crawling home .

What are fast? A Hennessey Venom GT speeding around a racetrack,a Yamaha Raptor  racing hell for leather round a forest and

What are slow? Tectonic plate converging continents, a tortoise munching a leaf and a sloth climbing a tree to reach its family.  

What are loud? A 460 Weatherby Magnum shooting a target, a flying fortress taking off to fight in World War II and a bomb dropping on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

What is quiet? Me sneaking to make a bike track in a forest, mum stealing the last biscuit and my dad talking on the phone while I am in bed.

What are tropical? A tapir slowly lowping away from a Puma, poison dart frogs chirping in the morning sun, western lowland gorilla curling their fingers under to walk on their knuckles ahead of the herd.
