Uranium Poem
There's a place called Uranium That just can't be beat From preserving our food To giving us heat This place called Uranium Helps us people a lot Even though it is tiny, Much smaller than a dot If you've never heard of Uranium Well, you're in for a treat So just sit back, relax And I'll tell you something neat About this place called Uranium That's really pretty cool In fact it's much like your Town, church, or school There are a couple things though That you'll have to get used to Before you understand Uranium And be part of the crew The words in Uranium May seem different and scary The boys are called electrons Unlike you, me, and Larry The girls in Uranium Have a different name as well For they are called protons, And it suits them quite swell.
After the protons and electrons Grow up and go steady They can go off and get married, If they think they are ready After this happens They are called something new For they are now neutrons, A combination of the two They then have to move Into downtown Uranium, Nucleus is what it's called, Not to be confused with titanium.
Within the town of Nucleus The neutrons are not alone For there are many neutrons there With whom to shop and talk on the phone.
146 neutrons Are usually here Although the number can change It's usually near All of these neutrons Are raising their babies, Trying to teach them And protect them from rabies The 92 protons stay near their neutron And inside of their bubble, While the electrons run wild and cause all sorts of trouble.
The 92 electrons run around And circle Nucleus all day, Much to their Neutrons agony and dismay.
It's hard to blame them Because they are so young It's hard to stay in And not have any fun But sometimes their neutrons Cannot find where they are Due to the empty land Around Nucleus that is very far.
Uranium is an element, And in case you wern't aware Elements are the building blocks Of the sea, land, and air.
On the periodic table Located to the right It's the element U,
