This is an epic poem... about Sodium (the stuff that makes salt, for those who didn't know.) I had it for a Science Assignment at school, and I had positive feedback for the last one I posted, so here it is. Note that this is just a poem, not a song as most of the stuff I'll post here will be. Unless... Well, if you guys like it I'm sure I could attach a jingle to it. Anyways, enough of that... Enjoy.
[glow=red,2,300]Sodium: A Poetic Tribute
By C.P Fynes[/glow]
I: History
Immune to Catastrophe
She spans the Galaxy
A giver of human health.
The taste of commerce
A Warriors Promise
The vision of ancient wealth
How strange it seems
Their hopes and dreams
Could be seared with a knife
They thought it rare
A gift of care
A bringer of human life
But it was rife
And love began to wear
So began the age of strife…
II: The Dream Mineral
Discovered by Humphrey Davy
Salt’s taste appeals to me
Ability as far as the eye can see
To hate it would be crazy!
Resting upon the Earth’s crust
An Alkali Metal, shall it rust?
Discovered in 1807
All her motives, they are just…
Atomic number equals eleven
Built so small, a speck of dust.
Sodium Chloride
Her use is bonified
Her abundance, sweet with pride.
Warms the ice of winter’s year
Cools the reactor, powered nuclear
Sodium’s properties, justified.
Her name is sodium
Immune to any odium
A Symphony of melodium
Salt, a taste of smiles
Sodium, so versatile
A discovery worth while!
