One part of Barium two parts of Sodium
Poured in to a beaker through spout
Abracadabra cast the fruity spell
Guess how come a banana sprung out?

very good one friend! :)
wow... well, i never tried out.. and well, i am really scared of chemistry, and if u r ever able to get that fear out of me, i will really thank you from the heart!!! i get very bad marks in this subject
help me!!!!!

1 ba + 2 na....ha...that's clever! I love that, this is a neat little riddle. Good read, and good luck in the contest!

So vivid chemistry has always been a mystery to me..but your poetic treatise is without the "ise"...its a treat!
-=Shubs -
very nice
Oh! so nice dear Mina! i only have come to know that chemistry is useful for poetry! You are intelligently creative ! Bariu-ba;sodium-Na and sodium-na----banana!
fine fun and sweet too! Bye1

Oh wow! Mina, what an experience...concentrated H2SO4 god....thank goodness you didn't burn....Yuck those smells...lol...HCl and H2S04 powerful compounds...my imagine the product...
You know once I put in this test tube with some acids in the centrifuge for centrifugation n I got busy working on some other experiments..lol....when the machine opened...hehehehehe...i wanted to vanish! lol.....i think that day, I set the record for the world's longest centrifugation! hehehehehe
I used to tell this guy I deeply loved{he is a microbiologist studying to get his PhD} to burn himself in conc. H2SO4 each time he would say something to hurt me...now I miss him like anything...sigh............tears!

Yeah Yeti, Hope you did well in your exam and didn't break any more beakers...lol... The worst thing I hate about chemistry lab was the rotten egg smell of H2S gas…lol... In my schoold days we didn’t have periodic table we had to remember all the properties orally… sigh..
I remember once I mixed too much of concentrated H2SO4 and HCL by mistake in my test tube… the test tube started huffing and puffing and spluttering… I got so scared…that was the frightening experience…lol

Mari, Yeah, as for Charishma, a person who can a write a haiku on frog on a toilet seat ought to be clever… lol… I’m glad I made you giggle….

Charish is clever! I haven't seen that before redaing her comment Mina, as usual, you came with an amusing and clever humour. Made me giggle, thanks!
Kisses and love,
Mari

Hey this is clever. Thank you 'mina'.

I am clueless to chem but this was cute

Hiya! hehe thanx a lot for the dedication... I luv it... I'll be doing my Chem. exam today... and working with barium chloride...hmmm...though I think barium sodium(dont think it exists)will react differently..lol.. I don't remember seeing any bananas in the lab...lol... anyways this so cute I'll end up laughing everytime I pick up the bottle... thanx a lot by the way I was just as stumped as margaretg until I read Charishma's explanation...
Edited on Feb 15, 5:37 because ''. -
HAHAHAHA!!! I like it...I figured
Sodium is chemically represented as "Na"
In L1, you said 2 parts of sodium...so "na na".
In L1, you also said, One part of Barium....so "Ba" - chemical representation.
Therefore, we have Banana!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!
I loved Chemistry in high school. Thanks for bringing back some real fun memories!

hahahahhahahahahahahha.....i wasnt really expecting that kinda ending lol i did had an eyebrow raised when i saw the picture realy good made my day

I used to know a little about chemistry, but I'm stumped! I hope you'll post an explanation soon.
Nice rhyming.
