Hi folks,
It’s comment and grade season which means I’m ridiculously busy. But I want to satisfy your knowledge so I looked up some science limericks. Enjoy!

The compounds of sodium are great,
If you can tell the chloride from chlorate.
The one makes fried chips,
Taste good on your lips,
The other clears weeds from your gate.

It’s a metal, Ca, you’ll agree.
With the ion that’s called CO3,
It makes chalk, and moreover,
The White Cliffs of Dover!
Without it they’d fall in the sea.

Aluminum’s silvery gray,
Foiling many a spill every day.
By the Aussies it’s said
Al-yoo-MIN-yum instead.
And that’s just about Al I can say.
