Limericks of Science

______________________________________________________________________

There once was a woman named Curie

too good of a chemist was she

too much radioactivity

damaged her productivity

and so she could no longer be

______________________________________________________________________

There once was a scientist named Bohr

nuclear bombs he did not abhor

their power was great

and did not abate

until all in sight were no more

______________________________________________________________________

There once was a young man named Brock

all he did was just sit there like a rock

“McDonald’s is my vice,

but those hamburgers sure are nice,

who cares about fat-caused arterial block?”

Note:

Once in my chemistry class in high school many years ago, the teacher had us write a series of three chemistry/science related limericks as a fun little assignment that was out of the usual ordinary homework and lab assignments. That was the most enjoyable homework that I ever had in that class for the whole year. These are those three limericks.

These three limericks were brought to mind by these three haikus from Joe. Please check out his blog if you have the time, it is really well worth a read. He writes great poetry.

Science and writing, a great combination.
