I was in my "element" during chemistry classes
I enjoyed lab experiments that ended in farces
Copper and cobalt and carbon had me beamin’
At the end of the day I’d be Californium dreamin

I like the whimsical quotes around element - they add a mischeviousness that sets the tone for the poem. The third line was a little disappointing, though. Copper, cobalt, carbon, and... I was hoping for another C-oh sound combination.
Thanks for the giggle to make my evening!
If I were in school, that would sooooo go on the front of my chem textbook!
Very clever. I didn't associate chemistry with poetry, but now I do.
This is my favorite "Verse And Worse" since I started reading two months ago. It reminds me of someone who is always scheming to create the unusual but he shall remain nameless. tee-hee
Your chemistry class poetry is full of Metals, & Element.
Carbon is extra...!
David..your poem is quite timely. I am the mother of 3 scientists scattered over the globe. One of them, my daughter, is in NY.
I have been interested to read of some news regarding women scientists...and have come upon this very interesting article

which I thought might interest you...may provide much thought for many in today's economic climate, and may be suitable for your post of the day?
You know me already as, Annie
ps Hope the link works...drop a comment on my blog if it doesn't!
At last I've found a poet operating at my level. That's a compliment - honest.
I was definitely OUT of my element!
Does your mind ever just stop?
Nope. Didn't think so.
