Carbon Hello there, you don’t know me because I haven’t introduced myself in most circles I’m called carbon but in atomic number I am twelve. There are 112 of us elements combined If you include the unknowns but when it comes to who is the very best I must admit that I stand alone Helium is so light headed Copper tends to mold but I withstand the brutal environment even better than Silver or Gold Titanium can never lighten up Aluminum is way too bright and Zinc would never get half as close as I when it comes to carbon dating I’m always right Mercury can’t decide if he is solid or liquid The Noble Gases are too pure when you want to keep your beverages fresh who else but can provide the cure? Hydrogen is too simple to count Chlorine is way too greedy but I will be your friend to the end I am never so needy Just don’t make me angry I am not the kind of element to weep I’ll just form an a friendly bond with oxygen and kill you in your sleep Why do I say these things? I have such a gentle heart Just make sure never to forget Carbon your favorite element on the Periodic chart |
