Hydrogen Carbon Oxygen
Phosphorus Sulphur Chlorine Nitrogen
These seven non-metals
Are the origins of our metals
“Hydrogen and Oxygen, well you say,
If we mix the two…
WATER!”
The holy chemicals made the H2O
The perplexed scientists say “Oh”
“We made H2O”
Lithium Sodium Potassium
Rubidium Caesium Francium
These six metals…
Well. Fascinating.
Because Sodium and Chlorine make
SALT!
The metal and gas made the salt
The perplexed scientists say “What?”
“We made salt!”
Let’s not forget
Gold and iron
Because if we forget,
We aren’t well
Can we combine gold and iron?
With an alloy, we can!
The gold-iron alloy is the strongest!
But lo!
Titanium is next the strongest!
Look at the abrupt end!
Argon Helium Xenon
Oganesson Radon Krypton
Let us learn from them
To worship as we can
“Well, what can we make?
Well, something weird
Like a gold sodium chloride”
