Chemical Engineer (One Job That Will Change My Life)

Location

One job will change my life

Change Her life

Only for the Better

I swear it

 

Memorize the Almighty Table

Given to us by the Wise Man Mendeleev

Give my love to Democritus

Un-halvable

Until Oppenheimer and Fermi

 

I won’t be them, though, I swear

I’ll mess up my tawny hair like Albert

Marry the love of my life and get married in my

Lab Coat

My Pierre awaits me

And glows with atomic fervor

 

I won’t use my magic to wage war

To threaten deadly Lefty-South Paws

Red Scare Fever

Hiroshima, Nagasaki

No, I won’t make war

I’ll Make Love

Products only for Love

Me and Pierre, my trusty beard

That vibrate like the strings and quarks

Bursting photons

 

I’ll throw out phlogiston and introduce

Egg-yellow Sulfur and Oxidation

and teach my progeny of

Lavoisier and Bohr

Around Plum Pudding Theory at Christmas

 

My dream job is to give voice to Silent Spring

To become an (not eco friendly, that's not strong enough)

ECO LOVIN' Chemical Engineer
