Remember "googol"?

Apropos of nothing except an attic clean-out: it makes me feel old to realize that I wrote this (for kids) before Google existed.  Accidentally dated...

Math LessonA googol's a number designed to boggle--a "1" with a hundred zeros in train--do you think there have been, since the world began,a googol drops of rain?Or might there be, on any beacha googol grains of sand?Or in God's mind, on a given daya googol actions planned?                              
The name came from Kasner, the mathematician(though legend has it his son supplied it):What did he do with it after he named it?He thought about it and multiplied it,leaving us with the Googolplex--which all the world's mathematical heroes,writing together, year by yearcould never supply with all its zeroes.
Googolplex! Ten to the googol power--more zeroes than the eye can see.The power of googol--what does that mean?It means a lot to me.
