Definition: The people living within a political or geographical boundary.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look,
At a word that’s important, a concept to cook!
We’ve just read the dictionary, nice and bright,
Saying “populations” mean folks in plain sight.
But let's dig a little deeper, don't you see?
It's more than just people, for you and for me!
“Populations” refers to groups, big or small,
Of living things – answering nature’s call!
Think of the squirrels in your backyard green,
Or the bees buzzing, a busy scene.
Even fish in the ocean deep and blue,
A “population” is what they all accrue.
It's about
how many
are there, you see,
And where they live – geographically!
The dictionary’s right, it’s true, it's correct,
But "populations" includes more than just a sector
Of human folks within borders defined,
It's living things, of every kind!
Now, does that make sense? Any questions to share? Let's discuss!
