Atom and Eve

Science can be beautiful

Atom and Eve

a basic unit of matter

it's more than magic up your sleeve

and out of all this gobbledy-goop

you wind up with the beautiful Eve

a dense centralized nucleus

surrounded by clouds of negative charge

shake them in a brown paper bag

and you come up with more than Curious George

stirred up protons and neutrons

except for the rascal hydrogen-1

chemical elements and Isotopes

but the beauty of you is what makes it fun

yes Eve was the Queen of all mothers

at least according to what we know

but was it the atoms of Adam's rib

or much more to this magnificent show

it seems the more that we understand

the more confused we become I believe

our world of constant amazement

much deeper than atom and Eve

I love this. I've always been interested in chemistry, but I got stuck with physics. And this poem is true, you can't have a being without atoms! Only flaw, you spelled "sleve" not "sleeve". But it's all good. :)
