- Cesium, thou unbeknownst of elts,
- I'd like to cook a batch of you in the kettle;
- Stirring slowly, bubbling, vaporizing,
- Oh! The joys of Cesium, an alkali metal!
-
- Thou hast not spectograph lines of green or red,
- Or even violet, yellow, or orange;
- For you, only deep brooding royal blue:
- (I just realized, nothing rhymes with 'orange').
-
- Yea, Cesium most rotund, largest of the Atoms,
- Your electron cloud is not to be scoffed.
- Thou bringest all but three score protons,
- Praises be to Bunsen and Kirchhoff!
